Short list 10.0 million) may comprise entirely of national consultants By PCU and PIUs 1 This method is used for equipment and machinery when there is a need to adopt certain minimum standards of specification, technology or a repeat order. To facilitate consistent standards and comparable price ranges, the contract price agreed upon should be based on established estimates by PCU/PIU as shown in a Unit Cost Database. These databases will be maintained by the PCU/PIU after carrying out a Floating of Enquiry (FOE). The UCDs should be kept updated and valid and can be useful for communities in the preparation of proposals and in assessing whether a specific supplier is offering a “fair” price. 2 Under a community force account, the community implements the subproject using its own resources (skilled and unskilled labor, materials, equipment), and may subcontract part of the subproject. This approach offers several advantages. It is community driven and cost effective (inputs can be provided by the community at below-market costs), and it injects funds into the community (e.g., through the payment of wages and materials). 3 This method and value threshold is applicable only for Rural HAATs. In Local Bidding, open tendering procedures should be limited to local advertising using local newspaper and posting notices at strategic places. Essentially this is like NCB except it is not mandatory to advertise in a newspaper of national circulation and bidding documents are simpler. Target suppliers and contractors are often those within the vicinity of the beneficiary community. The request for bids spells out the works details, the criteria for selection, and the deadline for submission of bids. Bids are opened in a public ceremony. The bids are normally evaluated by the Procurement committee. Bids are examined to determine whether they meet the minimum specifications mentioned in the bidding documents (experience, quality of works, equipment, services offered, and delivery dates). Bids that meet the minimum requirements specified in the bid invitation are retained for further evaluation and among the qualified bids, the lowest cost is selected. Accordingly,
