Annual Report 2012

Chairmans statement
The road from 2003 to today have not
been an easy one to travel, but the role of
HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa
in establishing the Tender Board and in
promulgating the Tender Board Law has
been our guiding light to success

This years annual report marks a major milestone for

The Bahrain Tender Board and sees the culmination of
a decade of operations. Our ongoing mission is to serve
two main purposes - the first is to facilitate public sector
purchasing in line with international best practices. The
second is to stimulate the Kingdoms economy, making it
an attractive climate for both local and foreign businesses
by offering a transparent and equitable platform for fair
competition.
Over the past 10 years we have done just that, as can be
seen from the achievements and advances in the following
pages.
The road from 2003 to today have not been an easy
one to travel, but the role of HRH Prince Salman bin
Hamad Al Khalifa in establishing the Tender Board and in
promulgating the Tender Board Law has been our guiding
light to success. The contributions of previous Chairmen
and Board Members and the employees who worked
tirelessly to ensure the Law was pushed through, cannot
be underestimated. And we today acknowledge their
tremendous contributions.

We are all aware that we are working in challenging

economic times, and during our ten years of operation,
Bahrain has of course seen the effects of the global financial
crisis, dipping investor confidence in financial markets and
a real estate downturn. However, for 2012 there is good
news emanating from developing economies, of which
Bahrain is one.
Our leaderships focus on continually improving the
Kingdoms infrastructure, manufacturing capabilities and
Government services means that the Tender Boards work
and the projects it issues are continually going forward.
This year, a record number of 1,886 tenders were
awarded, with a total value of almost BD 905 million,
showing strong Government spending and continued
investment in the Kingdoms economy. Public health was
of course a priority, with the highest number of these
tenders 349 issued from the Ministry of Health. In terms
of value, the aviation sector continued to be significant
with close to BD 191 million worth of tenders being
awarded by Gulf Air. Overall, government investment in the
industrial, infrastructure, housing and education sectors
also continued to be high, demonstrating Bahrains
commitment to the highest standards. It is also worth
mentioning that the actual cost of the awarded tenders
during 2012 was less than the estimated cost of the same
by a total amount of BD 49 million.
Internally, our relatively small team of 33 employees
has worked hard to achieve some major milestones in
2012, including digitising our archive systems from 2008
onwards, and upon Tender Boards directives establishing
a Development Committee, which is currently reviewing
our policies and procedures to streamline them.

Tender Board
Annual Report 2012

BD 49m
The actual cost of
the awarded tenders
during 2012 was less
than the estimated
cost of the same by
a total amount of
BD 49 million.

We also launched our new website, which now shows a

live feed of all tenders so that bidders can receive up to the
minute information on their submissions. We are also very
proud of our open communication with the market, and
this is demonstrated by our workshops, which we provide
to suppliers and contractors with the assistance of Labour
Fund (Tamkeen), to facilitate their bids by walking them
through the eTendering process step by step.
In partnership with eGovernment Authority, we further
enhanced our pioneering eTendering system, which
facilitates the entire tendering process online, and we
thank all government partners who have utilised this
system, along with our suppliers and contractors. We also
thank our partners at the Bahrain Centre for Excellence
who provides a model for excellence to all Government
organizations.
As a follow up on to the study conducted in 2010 by
McKinsey & Company, during 2012 our operations were
audited by Ernst & Young, which has given us a strong
direction and strategy for the future to bring us even further
in line with the international best practice. Consistent with
the recommendations of this study, we hope to become
more content-focused, to streamline procurement for
more simple tenders, and further standardise procurement
processes for commodity tenders.
Our future will be developing our platform even further we
never feel that we have reached as far as we can go we
will continue to push the boundaries to make ourselves
a world class role model, in line with our vision. We have
strategic goals in place for upcoming initiatives that will
serve the people and economy of Bahrain, including
eProcurement.

We are working with both the eGovernment Authority

and Central Informatics Organization on this. We enjoy an
excellent relationship with them and with all government
organizations such as the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry
of Works, the Electricity and Water Authority, Bahrain
Petroleum Company (BAPCO), Labour Fund (Tamkeen)
and National Oil and Gas Authority (NOGA). We very
much appreciate their help and support, and the mutual
cooperation. We have to make our tenders as transparent
and professional as possible to reach our goal of leading
the region in tendering practices.
Furthermore and on behalf of the Tender Board, I would
like to extend our gratitude to His Majesty King Hamad
bin Isa Al Khalifa, The King of the Kingdom of Bahrain, His
Royal Highness Prince Khalifa Bin Salaman Al Khalifa The
Prime Minster of the Kingdom of Bahrain and his Royal
Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa
the Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander of the
Bahrain Defense Force and First Deputy Prime Minster, for
their invaluable support, strategic guidance and visionary
leadership.
In closing, I want to highlight again the dedication
and professionalism of the small Tender Board team,
led by its Secretary General Mr. Abdul Aziz Abbas Al
Gassab. Without their hard work and relentless pursuit of
excellence, none of the achievements of the past decade
could have been realised.

Overview of Operations

The Tender Board has a strategic goal in

a place for for upcoming initiatives that
will serve the People and economy of the
Kingdom of Bahrain

Tenders Awarded
A record number of tenders were awarded in 2012, with
an average of 463 tenders per quarter and a total of 1,886
tenders throughout the year. The majority of these tenders
were issued by Ministry of Health, Bahrain Petroleum
Company (BAPCO), Ministry of Works, Electricity &
Water Authority and Gulf Air. The total value of awarded
tenders was BD 905 Million. Comparing the actual cost
of the awarded tenders with their initially estimated cost,
the difference in 2012 was BD 49 Million. This amount
represents a 83 percent increase from the difference
recorded in 2003. Since the establishment of the Tender
Board the total difference amounted to BD 658 Million.
Such differences between the actual and the initially
estimated costs are a testament to the effectiveness of
the Tender Board in the Kingdoms economy.

Competitiveness and Economic

Efficiency
Through its commitment to attracting suppliers and
contractor and establishing a highly competitive platform,
the Tender Board has enabled the government to increase
the standards of products and services obtained while
securing the most competitive prices in order for the
government to achieve high level of economic efficiency.

Tenders Opened & Bids Received

The number of tenders opened in 2012 totaled 1,180 with
a total estimated value of BD 739 Million, a slight increase
from 2011, bringing the total of tenders opened since
2003 to 12,719 tenders. The cumulative number of bids
received in 2012 also increased to 7034 compared to the
total of bids received in 2011 an average of 6 bids per
tender, making an impressive total of 67,507 bids received
since 2003.

However, for 2012 there is good news

of which Bahrain is one.

Requests for Reconsiderations

and Complaints
The Tender Board received 125 requests for
reconsiderations and complaints, although the figure
primarily consists of reconsiderations and enquires.
These requests for reconsiderations and complaints
are discussed at the Tender Board weekly meeting and
determines whether the grievance is handled directly or
referred to the authority concerned. In some cases, an ad
hoc committee is formed and meets with the supplier or
contractor director as well as with the purchasing authority
concerned. The Tender Board takes the appropriate
measures to adhere to the principals of fairness and the
quality, following the previsions stipulated in the Law
Regulating Government Tenders and Purchases.

Tender Board Meetings

In 2012 the Tender Board held 49 uninterrupted weekly
meetings to review correspondence and procedures
related to tenders and purchases in timely manner. At the
weekly meeting Board Members determine what actions
should be taken to ensure that sound decisions are
reached in a fair and transparent manner. Tender Board
members can now view any document via iPads during
live sessions, and make comments electronically. Such
comments can be shared between members of the Board.

eTendering System
Phase one of the eTendering system was launched during
the last quarter of 2011 and it continues to be rolled out.
A total of 8 purchasing Authorities were involved during
the first phase. The first phase of the system enables
purchasing authorities to upload their approved tender
documents directly onto the purchasing authority portal and
to publish it on the supplier portal. As for the suppliers and
contractors, it enables them to access tender information
online, download tender documents, and make their
payments electronically through the ePayment Gateway.
Government Authorities using the system during the first
phase include Ministry of Works, Ministry of Housing, Gulf
Air, Labour Fund (Tamkeen), Electricity and Water Authority,
Bahrain Petroleum Company (BAPCO), eGovernment and
Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA).
eTendering is a major milestone, which facilitates the
entire tendering process online allowing purchasing of
documents, bid submission and follow up through the
eTendering portal. An increasing number of Government
Authorities are using the system each month, following
training sessions being conducted with each authority. For
the year 2012 we had a total number of 1415 as suppliers
and the contractors who registered on the eTendering
system. More than 23 Purchasing Authorities have now
been trained on the system internally by our IT Section,
while suppliers and contractors have been trained by the
Labour Fund (Tamkeen).

Digital Archive

Organisation Effectiveness Study

2012 saw the completion of a major project, the Document

Management System, which is digitalisation of all Tender
Board documents from 2008 onwards. The migration
to digital has improved operational efficiency, speed up
responses to Stakeholders and allowing access to any
document through a central online secure database.
Now in its second year, the Tender Board uses updated
iPads and software to access the digital archives and the
electronic documents. Due to the work being accomplished
internally, the new archive system is estimated to have
saved the government BD 100,000.

As a follow up on the Organisation Effectiveness study

completed by McKinsey & Company in 2010, Ernst &
Young conducted a study, which has given clear themes
for enhancing internal operations. The Tender Board will
become more content focused when evaluating proposals,
and will further streamline the procurement tendering
process. In line with the study, the Tender Board reviewed
its organization structure with a view to enhance employee
benefits, in order to attract and retain highly qualified staff.

New Tender Management System

In 2012 the Tender Board continued its focus on

operational efficiency and enhancement of procedures
and performance. For the sixth year running, the Tender
Board maintained its quality management system based
on ISO 9001: 2008 accreditation, covering turnkey
operations including tender preparation, bid submission,
procurement, tender awarding, complaints handling and
staff development. A Development Committee was also
established to review all policies and procedures in order
to enhance Tender Boards operational efficiency.

During 2012, the strategy for a new Tender Management

System was completed, which is to be rolled out in 2013.
The new integrated system will enhance time management
and facilitate the internal processing of tendering operation,
and it will provide more reporting capability from start to
finish,. The System is estimated to have increased financial
savings by being managed and developed internally.

Seminar on Tendering Law and

Procedures
The Tender Board held its second annual seminar to
address Purchasing Authority inquiries. Representatives of
Purchasing Authorities and representatives from the Tender
Board attended this informative event and discussed
several issues related to the tendering process, with a
special emphasis on expediting the tendering process
within the framework of the Tender Law, its Implementing
Regulations and Tender Board decisions and circulars. The
Tender Board received feedback from participants that this
seminar was imperative in enhancing their knowledge of
the tendering procedures, speeding up requests from the
Purchasing Authorities, and further sessions have been
requested. In another positive step the Technical Affairs
Directorate for tenders has issued an informative booklet
for the Purchasing Authorities, explaining the procedures
and requirements for each stage of the tendering process.
Copies of the booklet were distributed to the participants.
