Procurement and Disposal Audit of KYU for the financial year 2013/2014 8 Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority CHAPTER TWO: PERFORMANCE OF THE ENTITY AND DETAILED FINDINGS 2.1 Performance of the Entity The audit of procurement and disposal activities of Kyambogo University (KYU) was conducted by the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority (PPDA) in accordance with Section 7 (j) of the PPDA Act, 2003. The overall audit objective was to review the entire procurement and disposal system of KYU to obtain assurance that procurement and disposal activities and processes for the financial year ended June 2014 were administered with due diligence and were compliant with the public procurement and disposal policies and procedures as laid out in the PPDA Act and Regulations. The audit was carried out in July 2014. This is the third audit of the Entity. The first was for FY 2006/07, the second was for FY 2012/2013 and the third is for FY 2013/2014. For the period under review the Entity had an expenditure budget of UGX 21,541,073,363. The expenditure on procurement activities during the financial year was UGX 4,777,894,840. A sample of 40 procurement contracts was selected and examined in detail. The sample was based on a combination of statistical and judgmental sampling methodology. The sample in relation to the population was as follows:Table 1: Population and Sample for FY 2013/2014 Method Procurement of Population Value Open Bidding 1,319,928,280 Restricted Bidding 873,512,006 Request for 1,857,998,729 Quotations Direct Procurement 318,316,373 Micro Procurement Disposal Total 408,139,452 0 4,777,894,840 Sample Value %Value (UGX.) 1,300,432,200 99 658,110,006 75 1,015,955,393 55 Popn No. Sample % No No. 28 9 135 6 7 20 21 78 15 244,924,735 77 20 7 35 0 0 3,219,422,334 0 0 67 570 0 762 0 0 40 0 0 5 Table 2: Summary of Performance of KYU FY 2013/2014 2013/2014 Audit Risk Category No % No Value UGX: %Value 2012/2013 % % No Value High Medium Low Satisfactory 28 70.0% 2,196,712,895 68.2% 30.0% 50.80% 11 27.5% 977,573,438 30.4% 57.5% 41.00% 1 2.5% 45,136,000 1.4% 10.0% 6.90% 0 0.0% 0 0.0% 2.5% 1.30% 40 100% 3,219,422,334 100.00% 100.0% 100.0% TOTAL Graphical Representation of Risk Rating for Procurements of KYU for FY 2013/2014 Procurement and Disposal Audit of KYU for the financial year 2013/2014 9 Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority Figure 1: Risk Rating by number Figure 2: Risk Rating by value Table 3: Overall performance of KYU for the 40 sampled procurements 68.2% 0.6 Medium 30.4% 0.3 9.11 Low 1.4% 0.1 Satisfactory 0.0% 100.00% Total Weighted score by No. 40.94 50.19/60 70.0% x 100 0.6 42.0 50.5/60 x 100 83.65% 27.5% 0.3 8.25 84.17% 0.14 2.5% 0.1 0.25 0 0.00 0.0% 0 0.00 1 50.19 100% 1 50.5 Performance %No. Weights High Total Total Weighted score by Value Performance %Value Weights Risk Rating Average weighted performance = (83.65%+84.17%)/2 = 83.91% The overall performance of the Entity was highly unsatisfactory with an overall weighted average of 83.91% of sampled contracts.

Of the forty (40) procurement files reviewed by value, 68.2% were rated as High Risk, 30.4% were Medium Risk, 1.4% was Low Risk and 0% were Satisfactory. In comparison with the performance observed in the previous audit of 2012/13, the value of the high and medium risk cases increased from 91% in the previous audit to 98.6% in the current audit. A decrease was also registered in the low and satisfactory cases from 8.2% in the previous audit to 1.4% in the current audit. Underlying reasons for the highly unsatisfactory performance: Carrying out procurements outside the Entity’s procurement plan i.e. Computers for e-kampus project, renovation at Mackay house No. 13. Lack of records of payments to providers on the action file. Alteration/forging of documents. Poor record keeping particularly contract management records. Failure to post procurement notices on the tender portal. Procurement and Disposal Audit of KYU for the financial year 2013/2014 11 Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority Use of firms which were not prequalified by the Entity for provision of certain supplies, works and services. Carrying out evaluation with committee members who were not approved by the Contracts Committee. Failure to submit monthly reports to the Authority. Failure to nominate and appoint contract managers. Poor estimation and failure to update the procurement plan which led to reduction in quantities of requirements after the evaluation process. 2.2 Detailed Findings During the audit, a sample of forty (40) procurement action files for goods, works and services were reviewed to assess the level of compliance in conducting procurement and also assess efficiency, economy and effectiveness of the procurement function in the Entity. 2.2.1 Procurement Planning The audit revealed that the Entity’s consolidated procurement plan for FY 2013/2014 had only 32 broad items e.g. roads and bridges, residential buildings and not explicitly stating the actual requirement. For example KU/WRKS/2013-2014/00530 UGX 40,937,551 Filling of Potholes in the University, UNEB-security office Road, NCHE signpost-lagoon (Harlow Road), Carvers Crescent, Fischer Road, Engineers Road, Sempala road and Teachers road were not explicitly stated in the plan. Implication This resulted into repeat purchases which hinder the Entity’s bargaining power ultimately leading to loss of value for money. Management Response Management noted this with concern and promised to address the recommendation and specify the projects at the planning stage. Recommendation The Authority noted the response and recommends that the Head Procurement and Disposal Unit should ensure that all departmental work plans are aggregated into a consolidated procurement plan in accordance with Section 58 (2) of the PPDA Act 2003. 2.2.2 Initiation of procurement process Delays at initiation It was noted that in eleven (11) cases worth UGX 410,041,185, there were delays between initiation and confirmation of funding by the Accounting Officer. The worst case was KU/SRVCS/2013-14/01098, Installation, Configuration and Training on Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer in Chemistry Department worth UGX 31,789,300 that took 10 months i.e. initiation was done on 28th May 2013 and confirmation of funding was done on 17th March 2014. Poor estimation of requirements The audit also noted that in three (3) cases worth UGX 138,529,060, there was poor estimation of the requirements during initiation which led to user departments’ reduction of quantities after the evaluation process so as to match the funds that were available. Procurement and Disposal Audit of KYU for the financial year 2013/2014 12 Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority Retrospective approvals It was noted that eight (8) cases worth UGX 1,514,161,564 had instances where the approval to procure was done retrospectively by the University Bursar after confirmation of funding by the Accounting Officer. Incomplete information on approval of PP form The audit also noted that, in fourteen (14) sampled procurements worth UGX 2,152,830,959, the Accounting Officer would confirm funding with only a signature but no name and the same applied to the approval to procure made by the University Bursar. It was therefore not possible to tell whether the signatures were those of the authorised officers. Implication Delays between initiation and confirmation of funding cause inefficiency in the procurement function. Failure to generate realistic estimates during the planning phase and at initiation leads to budget overruns and accumulation of domestic arrears. Retrospective approvals to procure may result into creation of domestic arrears. Failure to indicate a name on the PP form at initiation affects transparency and accountability. Management Response Delays were caused by administrative consultations. User departments to be assisted in making estimations. Retrospective approvals were noted. Failure of officers to indicate their names against signatures was also noted Recommendations The Authority noted the responses and recommends that: The Accounting Officer should ensure that the delays in procurement at the various stages are addressed to ensure efficiency. The Accounting Officer should ensure that User Departments make realistic cost estimates as per Regulation 3(2) (a) of the PPDA (Rules and Methods for Procurement of Supplies, Works and Non-consultancy Services) Regulations, 2014. The Accounting Officer should ensure that procurement requirements are initiated according to Regulation 3 (5) of the PPDA (Rules and Methods for Procurement of Works, Supplies and Non-consultancy Services) Regulations, 2014. 2.2.3 Bidding Use of non-pre-qualified firms The audit noted that in six (6) cases worth UGX 197,942,422, some firms that had not been pre-qualified by KYU under some of the categories of services/goods/works had been invited by the Entity to bid while leaving out other prequalified suppliers contrary to Regulation 142 of the PPDA Regulations 2003. An example is KU/SUPLS/2013-14/000851, supply of Computers and Laptops for the University Library and University Bursar worth UGX 43,048,000, M/s Olitech International Ltd was not on the pre-qualified list & also not on the shortlist but was issued with a solicitation document. Implication This affects transparency in the procurement process and fairness to other pre-qualified service providers and deters competition. Procurement and Disposal Audit of KYU for the financial year 2013/2014 13 Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority Management Response An additional prequalification list was obtained by the Entity through a special open bidding process and providers were shortlisted basing on the nature of items e.g. perishables like foodstuffs, roots tubers and starch. Recommendation The Authority noted that the additional prequalification list provided by the Entity did not include all the queried firms and recommends that the Accounting Officer should caution in writing the HPDU for failure to use prequalified firms as required by Regulation 43(3) of the PPDA (Rules and methods for procurement of supplies, works and non-consultancy services) Regulations, 2014 and failure to indicate reasons as to why non prequalified firms were used when there were prequalified firms. Lack of evidence of invitation of shortlisted providers The audit noted that in twelve (12) cases worth UGX 611,882,659, bidders were shortlisted but there was no evidence to prove that they received the invitation to bid. Furthermore, the audit noted instances where three or four service providers were shortlisted and only one or two responded. Without proof of receipt of invitation, the audit could not ascertain whether all bidders had been invited. Examples of such cases are; i. KU/SRVCS/2013-2014/01190. Printing, supply and delivery of answer booklets for Academic Year 2013/2014 semester II worth UGX 58,800,000 ii. KU/SRVCS/2013-14/01098. Installation, Configuration and Training on Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer in Chemistry Department worth UGX 31,789,300. iii. KU/SUPLS/2013-14/000851. Supply of Computers and laptops for the University Library and University Bursar worth UGX 43,048,000. iv. KU/SPLS/2013-2014/00703. Supply and Delivery of Textbooks for Mechanical & Production Engineering Department worth UGX 60,971,360. v. KU/SUPLS/2013-2014/00802 Supply of Drugs for Medical Centre worth UGX 42,398,687. Implication This undermines the principles of fairness and competition in the procurement process and affects the achievement of value for money. Management Response Noted and the recommendation shall be addressed. Recommendations The Authority noted the response and recommends that: The Head Procurement and Disposal Unit should ensure that there is evidence of invitation of bidders on the procurement action files such as copies acknowledged by the bidders and emails sent out to the bidders. The Head Procurement and Disposal Unit should include sufficient bidders on the shortlist to promote real and effective competition. The Accounting Officer should investigate the possible causes of the poor response to bid invitation. Approvals made by the Contracts Committee The Chairman Contracts Committee was delegated by the Accounting Officer on PP Form 212 to approve methods of procurement, evaluation committee members and shortlists of Procurement and Disposal Audit of KYU for the financial year 2013/2014 14 Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority providers and solicitation documents on behalf of the Contracts Committee. However, when approving the above, the PP Form 209 (Contracts Committee decision) did not indicate what had been approved for each procurement. Implication In the event that submissions made to the Contracts Committee are misplaced, it may not be possible to conclusively confirm approvals made on behalf of the Contracts Committee by the Chairman Contracts Committee. Management Response Noted and recommendation shall be addressed. Recommendation The Authority noted the response and recommends that the Chairman Contracts Committee should ensure that all approvals made are indicated on the PP Form 209 in accordance with Section 28 of the PPDA Act 2003. Failure to issue solicitation documents The audit revealed that solicitation documents were not issued for six (6) direct procurements worth UGX 225,330,691.8. Implication This affects transparency and accountability in the procurement function. Management Response Noted and recommendation shall be addressed. Recommendation The Authority noted the response and recommends that the Head Procurement and Disposal Unit should ensure that the solicitation documents are issued when direct procurement is used in accordance with Regulation 47 (1) (b) of the PPDA (Rules and methods for procurement of supplies, works and non-consultancy services) Regulations, 2014. 2.2.4 Evaluation of bids It was noted during the audit that some members of the evaluation committee had not been approved by the Contracts Committee. For example Renovation works to the building of lands & architectural studies at UGX 36,567,905 KYU/WRKS/2011-2012/00610 –Dr. Michael Kyakula & Dr. Rosemary Nabadda were not approved by the CC to participate in evaluation. The audit revealed that there were instances where the evaluation committee changed the evaluation criteria to include criteria which had not been indicated in the solicitation document. For example; KU/Srvcs/2013-2014/00368 Internal networking Materials University Library Centre at UGX 47,172,000, warranty of one year was added to the criteria during evaluation. The audit also revealed that evaluation was not conducted when the method of procurement was direct method. Procurement and Disposal Audit of KYU for the financial year 2013/2014 15 Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority Implications Unfairness during evaluation leads to complaints which cause delays in the procurement process. Forgery of documents is an indicator that the Entity indulges in unethical practises. Management Response Evaluation committee was approved by the Contracts Committee. The finding on changing of evaluation criteria was noted and recommendation shall be addressed. Recommendations The Authority noted that the additional evidence provided as part of the response to the Management letter to prove nomination and approval of Dr. Micheal Kyakula to participate in the evaluation process included an altered PP Form 40 on the Membership of Evaluation Committee to include Dr. Micheal Kyakula who was not initially on the Form. (Refer to Annex 1). The Authority therefore recommends as follows: The Head Procurement and Disposal Unit should ensure that all members of the evaluation committee are approved by the Contracts Committee in accordance with Section 28 (1) (b) of the PPDA Act 2003. The Head Procurement and Disposal Unit should ensure that the evaluation committee members adhere to the criteria set out in the solicitation document in accordance with Regulation 7 (2) of the PPDA (Evaluation) Regulations 2014. The Accounting Officer should investigate, identify and take appropriate disciplinary action against Officers of the Entity responsible for the unethical conduct i.e. falsification of documents. 2.2.5 Contracts Award and Placement Notice of best evaluated bidder The audit revealed that there was no evidence on file of receipt of the notice of best evaluated bidder by the unsuccessful bidders. Furthermore, there were five (5) cases worth UGX 206,276,193 where the reason for being unsuccessful was not stated on the Notice of Best Evaluated Bidder. Implication Failure to notify unsuccessful bidders denies them the right to appeal the decision of award in case they are aggrieved. Management Response Noted and recommendation shall be addressed. Recommendation The Authority noted the response and recommends that the Head Procurement and Disposal Unit should ensure that all unsuccessful bidders receive a copy of the notice of best evaluated bidder in accordance with Regulation 4 (1) (a) of the PPDA (Contracts) Regulations 2014 which clearly indicate the reasons for their failure. Changes in the Special Conditions of Contract The audit revealed that in some cases special conditions in the signed contract were different from the special conditions in the solicitation document contrary to Regulation 132 (2) of the Procurement and Disposal Audit of KYU for the financial year 2013/2014 16 Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority PPDA Regulations 2003 and in one case, special conditions were not harmonised with some of the requirements of the user department. Examples of such cases are: KU/Srvcs/13-14/00368 Internal networking Materials University Library Centre worth UGX 47,172,000. The special conditions of contract in the solicitation document did not include GCC 28.3 & 28.5 in the contract which stated warranty of 1 year & period within which the provider would repair or replace defective supplies-two months respectively. KU/WRKS/2013-2014/000610 Renovation works to the building of lands & architectural studies worth UGX 36,567,905. GCC 2.3 in the contract stated the type of contract as Renovation works to the Building of Lands & Architectural Studies while in the special conditions of contract in the solicitation document stated lump sum contract. GCC 21.1 in the contract stated that site possession would be after the site handover while the special conditions of contract in the solicitation document stated that site possession would be on signing the contract. The special conditions of contract in the solicitation document stated that payment would be within 30 days after receipt of invoice, payment certificate and certificate of completion while on the other hand; the special conditions of contract in the signed contract were silent. KYU/Supls/13-14/00595 Materials for in house Training for Dept of Food Processing Technology Sem-II/13-14 worth UGX 18,065,000. The Special Conditions of Contract (GCC 12.1) stated that delivery was to be within 7 working days from date of purchase order. However, in a letter on file dated 3rd October 2013 from the Ag. Head of Department it was indicated that highly perishable materials would have to be delivered when the session was being conducted. There was no evidence of harmonization of the Special Conditions of Contract with this requirement. Implication This underscores transparency of the procurement function and may result into legal issues. Management Response Noted and recommendation shall be addressed Recommendation The Authority noted the response and recommends that the Head Procurement and Disposal Unit should ensure before signing a contract that the special conditions in the solicitation document are similar to those in the final contract. 2.2.6 Contract Implementation and Management The audit revealed that contrary to Regulation 259 of the PPDA Regulations 2013, there were thirty four (34) cases worth UGX 2,502,217,556 where contract managers were not appointed and in other cases where a contract management committee was appointed, there was no evidence of reports prepared. Some files had a template of a contract implementation plan but it had not been completed. Examples of cases which lacked evidence of appointment of a contract manager are listed below: KYU/SUPLS/13/14/01520. Supply of materials for Renovation and plumbing of Extension Block of Apollo House worth UGX 45,136,000. KU/SUPLS/2013-2014/00349. Supply and Delivery of Teaching Materials for Department for Art and Industrial Design – Day Programme worth UGX 46,254,000. KU/SPLS/2013-2014/00191/00192. Supply and Delivery of Teaching Materials for Departments of Food Processing Technology and Biological Sciences for Semester 1 – 2013/2014 worth UGX 19,773,500. Procurement and Disposal Audit of KYU for the financial year 2013/2014 17 Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority All the files reviewed did not have evidence of payments made to providers. At the time of audit, the entity’s Accounts’ department provided evidence of payment to providers for only 10 procurements out of a sample of 40. Some contractors failed to implement the contracts within the stipulated time. An example is: KYU/WRKS/2013-2014/00610 Renovation works to the building of lands and architectural studies worth UGX 36,567,905. The contract was signed on 18th February 2013 and the site was handed over on 21st June 2013 (according to the contract works were expected to be complete within 8 weeks from the date of site handover). The contractor M/s Malcom Investments Ltd in their letter of 5th August 2013 indicated that they had not started works mainly because they had many commitments and that the Entity had outstanding payments from a previous contract. In their meeting of 14th May 2014 the CC approved revision of the contract to commence 2nd June 2014 and at the time of the audit works were on going. Some variations in the contracts were not approved by the contracts committee. For example KU/WRKS/2013-2014/00530 filling of potholes in the university where extra works were done at UGX 5,694,258 by M/s Dewans Services Ltd without approval from the Contracts Committee. Implication Failure and delay to supervise contracts could lead to sub-standard deliverables. If defects are not quickly rectified they may cause further damage to the roads and failure to achieve value for money. Reduced interest and participation by bidders due to the Entity’s failure to meet its payment obligations within the stipulated time frame of 30 days. Management Response Noted and recommendation shall be addressed. Recommendations The Authority noted the response and recommends as follows: The Accounting Officer should ensure that Heads of User Departments nominate contract managers and ensure preparation of contract implementation plans as per Regulation 52(1) and 51(3) of the PPDA (Contracts) Regulations, 2014. The Accounting Officer and User Departments should ensure satisfactory rectification of all defects on works contracts prior to expiry of defects liability period and authorisation to release retention monies. The Accounting Officer should ensure timely payment of providers within 30 days of delivery/completion as per Regulation 49 (3) of the PPDA (Contracts) Regulations, 2014. The Accounting Officer should ensure that where contractors fail to meet the terms and conditions of the contract, the contract is terminated in accordance with Regulation 13 (3) (c) & (4) of the PPDA (Contracts) Regulations 2014. 2.2.7 Records management in the PDE The audit team observed that: Out of the forty (40) cases reviewed, 15 cases lacked records of payment to providers while some others lacked contract management records such as delivery notes and invoices. Procurement and Disposal Audit of KYU for the financial year 2013/2014 18 Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority Implication Failure to have an effective and efficient record keeping system disrupts the audit trail and results into delays as a result of waiting for documents to be provided. Management Response Noted and recommendation shall be addressed. Recommendation The Authority noted the response and recommends that the Head Procurement and Disposal Unit should ensure that User Departments archive all contract management records and submit reports on the progress or completion of a contract to the PDU in accordance with Regulations 53(3) (a) (vii) and 53(3) (g) of the PPDA (Contracts) Regulations, 2014. 2.2.8 Reporting to PPDA For the period under review, the Entity did not submit Monthly Reports to PPDA contrary to Regulation 293 (5) of the PPDA Regulations 2003. Reports for the whole financial year were submitted on 14th July 2014 according to a letter from KYU to the Authority. Implication Lack of transparency and accountability in the procurements conducted by the Entity. Management Response Refer to the annex regarding submission of reports. Recommendations The Authority noted from the documents provided in the annex that the letter submitting the monthly reports for the period July 2013 to June 2014 to the Authority was dated 14th July 2014 and therefore recommends as follows: The Accounting Officer should caution in writing the Head Procurement and Disposal Unit for failure to comply with the requirements to prepare monthly reports in accordance with Regulation 20 of the PPDA (Procuring and Disposing Entities) Regulations, 2014. The Accounting Officer should ensure that all monthly procurement reports are submitted to PPDA as per Regulation 20 of the PPDA (Procuring and Disposing Entities) Regulations, 2014. 2.2.9 Procurement performance measurement system (PPMS) At the time of the audit, only 7 (17.5%) of the forty (40) sampled procurements were entered on the procurement performance measurement system PPMS which is a data recording system that facilitates assessment of the effectiveness, efficiency and transparency of the public procurement and disposal system in Uganda. Implication Failure to enter procurement data into the PPMS makes it difficult for the entity to assess their individual performance and for Authority to identify and recommend targeted actions towards the key performance areas under PPMS that are weak and require additional support. Management Response Noted and recommendation shall be addressed. Procurement and Disposal Audit of KYU for the financial year 2013/2014 19 Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority Recommendation The Authority noted the response and recommends that the Accounting Officer should ensure that all procurements undertaken by the Entity are entered into the PPMS data base since this serves as an internal control tool and also facilitates preparation of reports to various stakeholders. 2.2.10 Delays in the Procurement Process The audit revealed delays in the tenders below:Subject Initiation Contract date Signature 22nd/7/2014 421 10th/10/2013 30th/6/2014 264 160 (104) 28th/8/2013 16th/2/2014 173 110 (63) Method 28th/5/2013 PPDA maximum Indicative time frames 110 Installation, RFQ Configuration and Training on Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer in Chemistry Department KU/SRVCS/201314/01098 Supply and Delivery RDB of Textbooks for Mechanical & Production Engineering Department KU/SPLS/20132014/00703 Provision of eats and RFQ drinks during the 10th Graduation Ceremony at Kyambogo University KU/SRVCS/20132014/00414 Calendar Days Taken Variance (311) Implication Delayed procurement affects service delivery to the beneficiaries of the procurement and hinders efficiency of the procurement function. Management Response Noted and recommendation shall be addressed. Procurement and Disposal Audit of KYU for the financial year 2013/2014 20 Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority Recommendation The Authority noted the response and recommends that the Accounting Officer should ensure that the delays in procurement at the various stages are addressed in accordance with Section 48 of the PPDA Act 2003. 2.2.11 Posting Notices on the tender portal The audit revealed that much as the Entity had received training from the Authority on the posting of bid notices on the tender portal, none of the procurements undertaken by the entity during the financial year under review were posted onto the tender portal contract to Regulation 140 (3) of the PPDA Regulations 2003. Implication Failure to post procurements onto the tender portal limits transparency and accountability. Potential bidders are also denied opportunity to participate in the procurement process. Management Response Noted and recommendation shall be addressed. Recommendation The Authority noted the response and recommends that the Accounting Officer should ensure that all procurements undertaken by the Entity are posted onto the tender portal in accordance with Regulation 14 (2) (b) and 42 (2) of the PPDA (Rules and Methods for procurement of supplies, works and non consultancy services) Regulations 2014 2.2.12 Revenue Sources The audit revealed that the University generates local revenue from various properties on its campus. However, there was no evidence to prove that valuation of the services was conducted to establish a reserve price and that the various managers of these properties underwent a competitive procurement process prior to award of contracts. It was also not clear whether the properties are let out for provision of a specific service or whether the service is left to the discretion of the property manager. Some of these properties include: Buildings occupied by Stanbic Bank, Crane Bank and Eco Bank. The Public Cafe. The University Guest House. The Cricket Oval Restaurant. Guild Cafe Fruit Center Nanziri Canteen, Kulubya Canteen among others. Various Secretarial service centres. Implication Failure to have a competitive method through which managers (tenants) of the various properties are procured inhibits achievement of value for money. Management Response Valuers’ have been contracted to establish reserve prices for the service centres. Procurement and Disposal Audit of KYU for the financial year 2013/2014 21 Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority Recommendation The Authority noted the response and recommends that the Accounting Officer should ensure that all revenue sources in the Entity are valued to determine their reserve prices and these should be competitively procured in accordance with Section 46 of the PPDA Act 2003. 2.2.13 Framework Contracts The audit revealed that; At the time of evaluation for award of framework contracts, Although the solicitation document indicated under ITB 12.1 (i) that bidders were to declare that they were not participating as a bidder in more than one bid in the bidding process, some bidders submitted and were evaluated on more than one bid. Under internet services, M/s Roke and M/s Highway were responsive. However, on 11/6/2012, Mr Brian Mugambwa indicated that the bidder was non-responsive on failure to submit documentary evidence establishing the bidder’s qualifications to perform the contract if their bid is accepted. Under tyres, the only bidder M/s Arrow Centre was responsive. However, on 11/6/2012, Mr. James Sekalumba, Ms. Christine Oluka, Ms. Angela Nadongo indicated that M/s Arrow Centre was non-responsive on bid validity of 120 working days. It is not clear how the bidder was eventually approved. Under advertising, the only bidder M/s The Observer was responsive. However, on 11/6/12, Mr. James Sekalumba, Ms. Christine Oluka, Mr. Brain Mugambwa, Ms. Angela Nadongo indicated that M/s The Observer was non-responsive on bid validity of 120 working days. It is not clear how the bidder was eventually approved. Under Emptying Pit Latrines, M/s Kika Supplies and M/s G&B were responsive. However, on 08/06/2012. Mr. James Sekalumba, Ms. Angela Nadongo and Mr. Brain Mugambwa indicated that M/s Kika Supplies was non-responsive on bid validity of 120 working days and failure to declare that the bidder was not participating as a bidder in more than one bid. On 27th July 2012 after the evaluation process had been conducted, the CC noted that the specifications for some categories were not sufficient in the solicitation document namely; catering services, fumigation, tyres, internet services, hotel and conference facilities, servicing of generators and emptying pit latrines. A list of call off orders placed during the financial year under review for each category was not readily available at the time of the audit. Implications There was a risk that the ground was not levelled for all bidders leading to unfairness to some of the bidders as others were favoured. Failure to keep complete and accurate records of call of orders placed during the year under review inhibits transparency and accountability. Management Response ITB 12.1 (i) that bidders were to declare that they were not participating as a bidder in more than one bid in the bidding process; in that bidding process, ITB 12.1 implied that a bidder X could bid for food , Tyres, and cleaning materials e.t.c. as X but not as X for food and Y for food Some requirements were considered immaterial by the evaluation committee and waived. Procurement and Disposal Audit of KYU for the financial year 2013/2014 22 Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority Recommendations The Authority noted the Entity’s response but found it unsatisfactory. The response on the requirement for bidders to declare that they were not participating in more than one bid was unclear while requirements such as bid validity which was waived by the evaluation committee cannot be considered as immaterial therefore the Authority recommends as follows: The Head Procurement and Disposal Unit should ensure that evaluation is conducted in accordance with the PPDA (Evaluation) Regulations 2014. The Head Procurement and Disposal Unit should ensure that contract managers are appointed for all framework contracts and that they keep complete records for all orders placed. The Accounting Officer should ensure that the Contracts committee further performs its functions according to Regulation 12 of the PPDA (Procuring and Disposing Entities) Regulations, 2014 and Section 28 of the PPDA Act 2003. 2.2.14 Disposals It was noted that the entity had a number of assets especially vehicles which were grounded and therefore due for disposal. Information provided to the audit team indicated that there were some efforts by the board of survey to initiate a disposal process however, this was not conducted. Implication Failure to dispose off assets whose use ceased inhibits achievement of value for money as funds are held up in these assets and also lost through depreciation of these assets. Management Response Noted and recommendation shall be addressed Recommendation The Authority noted the response and recommends that the Accounting Officer should in accordance with Regulation 2 of the PPDA (Disposal) Regulations 2014 ensure assets of the Entity are reviewed to identify those to be disposed off.

Lack of a consolidated procurement plan which includes all User Departments of the entity resulted into some split procurements which hindered achievement of economy and efficiency. Failure to make proper estimates of requirements and unplanned procurements hindered effectiveness of the procurement function. The overall performance of the Entity was highly unsatisfactory with an overall weighted average of 83.91% of sampled contracts. 3.2 ACTION PLAN Area Recommendations Procurement Planning Initiation Bidding Responsible Person The HPDU should ensure that all HPDU departmental work plans are aggregated into the consolidated procurement plan in accordance with Section 58 (2) of the PPDA Act 2003.
