Reforming the Chilean Public Procurement System A public management reform
Felipe Goya - RPM South Asia
Chile’s basic information
OCDE memberTransparency International (2012) : 21stGDP : USD 250.000.000.000Per capita (ppp) : USD 18.500 Inhabitants : 16.000.000Public Employees : 250.000 Central Government : 150.000 (health care 70.000)Public Procurement : USD 10.000 MM (goods, services and some works)
(approx. figures)
Why we reformed procurement?
Inefficient public marketplace• High transaction costs• High asymmetries of information
Limited transparency – High risk environment
2003 corruption
scandal
Reform found it opportunity into the
government’s agenda
Concept
Central Agency’s Role
Solution
Elements of the reform
• National scope reaching every procurement process above USD 200• One single and simple procurement law based on a decentralized model• One strong and fully independent central procurement agency responsible
for the whole system• Heavy reliance on outsourcings and private partners• Independent dispute resolution mechanism
Every process was massively supported by ITCs
It is possible to track every transaction, every contracting officer, every vendor, to produce indicators, look for behavioral patterns, integrate with other systems, etc …

Contracting officers are always the most important part of the equation. System deters misbehaviors but they are not human proof. A poorly designed process and badly executed will affect negatively transaction costs and
vendors' transparency perception.
Contracting officers development
Contracting officers’ basic demographics
Gobierno de Chile | Ministerio de Hacienda | Dirección ChileCompra
13.000 contracting officers
Training system structure
Performance Monitoring
Written test
+ ACREDITATION every 2 years
Despite the certification process and the available training, tenders are not always done with the expected quality.
Investing in the contracting work force is never enough
Lessons learned on capacity building
• Mistakes in tendering processes are not always because the lack contracting officers knowledge. Tenders involve much more people than the contracting officer.
• If contracting officers or any other stakeholder have a poor or inappropriate background, training will not solve this problem.
• Focusing training on decision making is more important than knowing the rules or procedures.
• Training programs must be open to non contracting officers as well. Including private sector professionals.
• Training programs should be designed as life learning programs.

Problems
Reach the political agenda is fundamental

Problem: “Despite the level of development public procurement is risky” (Thai, 2001).
Politics: Corruption scandale in 2003.
1998 2003 2008
Solutions www.chilecompra.cl2010
• Political support from the Chilean’s President downward• Reform under the Ministry of Finance• No resources restrictions• “Stick and carrots” to bring transactions inside the system• Constant, clear and shared objectives• Professional teams leading the reform are well paid• Leveraging public resources with private’s
Top down implementation
It is relevant to manage vendors perceptions
2. Perception of transparency
1. Transaction costs
Win rate: Proxy for frustration
Teaming with others helps a lot
Without transaction any reform is meaningless
Without a strong central agency, the reform will not
work as expected
