THE UNITED STATES AGENCY-LEVEL BID PROTEST MECHANISM: A MODEL FOR BID CHALLENGE PROCEDURES IN DEVELOPING NATIONS

摘要

Developing nations face tremendous challenges as they struggle to establish efficient, economical, and ethical government procurement systems. While many procurement models exist, an agency-level review mechanism modeled after the U.S. system can suitably serve as a developing nation's primary forum for resolving bid protests and, at the same time, meet the demands of membership in the various international public procurement agreements. As the U.S. agency-level system continues to improve, it will also continue to offer a superb solution for developing nations.
