3、tem of Lao Peoples Democratic Republic (PDR) was conducted using the Baseline Indicators System (BIS) for measuring the quality of a countrys procurement policies and institutional capacity, which was developed by the joint World Bank and Organisation for Economic Co- operation and Development (OECD
4、) Development Assistance Committee (DAC) Procurement Roundtable.1 As such, the assessment was undertaken on the basis of four (4) key areas called “Pillars,” which are composed of twelve (12) Indicators that have been identified as the core components of a public procurement system. These twelve (12
5、) Indicators are, in turn, composed of Baselines that are considered the desirable standards against which the existing elements of Lao PDRs public procurement system may be assessed. For the assessment, points were given to each Baseline, the total of which corresponds to weights assigned to each o
6、f the Indicators. In turn, the weights of these Indicators comprise the total score for each of the four (4) Pillars. To reflect their equal importance, each of the Pillars was given a weight of twenty-five percent (25%) each, amounting to a grand total of one hundred percent (100%). These points an
7、d weights were discussed with, and agreed upon by, the Procurement Monitoring Office (PrMO), Ministry of Finance (MOF) of the Government of Laos (GOL), so that the distribution thereof would be based upon the importance and relevance of each of the Baselines and Indicators involved, in relation to t
8、he GOLs public procurement reform program. In conducting the BIS assessment, a review of Lao PDRs public procurement legislative and institutional framework had to be undertaken. This review included the following: 1. The Decree of the Prime Minister on Government Procurement of Goods, Construction,
9、 Maintenance and Service, dated 9 January 2004 (the “Procurement Decree”); 2. The Implementing Rules and Regulations on the Decree of Government Procurement of Goods, Works, Maintenance and Services, specifically Ministry of Finance No. 0063/MOF, dated 12 March 2004 (IRR); and 3.
