- W762514480 abstract "In 1964 the government of Kuwait established the Central Tenders Committee (CTC).Its aims were fivefold:1) to control the major areas of government spending on services anddevelopment projects;2) to reduce the expenses of government departments when buying from privatesuppliers and to ensure the highest quality of provision;3) to organise, standardise and unite all tendering procedures for all governmentdepartments through the CTC;4) to avoid breach of trust between government departments and employees;5) to treat all contractors who tender with fairness and avoid favouritismthroughout the tender procedures.The thesis evaluates the economic role of central tendering within a particular sociopoliticalcontext: that of Kuwait, and highlights the organisational nature of the slowresponding and highly bureaucratic CTC. The implications of this for a dynamicbusiness culture are stressed, and the differences between the CTC as formal modeland the reality are discussed.Further attention is paid to the question of who benefits from this process oftendering. It is clear that the impact on the state of this system is variable, despite theinitial hopes for the CTC, but there is no obvious pattern of advantage for particulartypes of companies or countries.A questionnaire was circulated to a sample of CTC employees, clients, customers, andsuppliers. Little has been attempted elsewhere to evaluate a CTC approach, leading toa lack of information and research. It was hoped that by the tool of the questionnairemethod, light could be thrown on the relative advantagesa nd caseo f use of the CTCmechanism.The five fold aims of the CTC are recognised as being worthy and relevant, withevidence that with some exceptions all are being met to a greater or lesser degree, butthat simplification of the procedures and a speeding up of the process would releasemany more benefits." @default.
