the current time, shall be completed soonest and the procurement can be started immediately.
7.2 Action Required
Since it was concluded that the delay on the procurement is caused by limited performance of the Procurement Teams Pokja, a workshop discussing procurement
procedures under the World Bank Procurement Guidelines was delivered on 24 – 25 April 2013 at Tanjung Pandan in Bangka Belitung Province which were attended by all
Pokjas. Afterwards, the Pokjas will have more capability on tender process including preparation of the bid evaluation report and the tender process will be implemented
smoothly without delays.
The project managers PPKs are suggested and required to update the DEDs of the AWP-1 packages following actual condition of the existing roads. The estimated
construction cost should be considered to not significantly increase. Otherwise, the prequalification shall be cancelled since the experience criteria for the Applicants were
set based on previous estimated construction cost.
