this section needs to be expanded to include preparation which is feasibility studies, procurement, which includes preparation of tender documents, support with bidders’ queries, support with tender evaluations and support with contract negotiations post procurement. These will ensure that any contracting authority that engages a transaction advisor will be properly guided on such an advisor’s terms of reference. Contracting authorities need assistance in structuring a transaction advisory, procurement framework and contract and need for technical support and guidance of the unit in several instances where contracting authorities have done this on their own. They have experienced very poorly developed projects ...

I want to clarify that we are not referring to the Committee of Parliament. We are referring to the committee of procurement; that is, the Public Private Partnerships Committee and not the Committee of Parliament.

The contracting authority shall, following its of contract. finalization of the project agreement and after all parties to the agreement have complied with all conditions precedent to the execution of government contracts, execute the contract awarded to that bidder. This is just cleaning up and making sure everything is done by the Committee as we said after the finalisation of the agreement. The Member for Mavoko is not very pleased with you.

Thank you. I want to agree with the amendment. It is quite in order. To avoid cleaning-up exercise later, I think it is good we consult, so that we can have the Clerk to the National Assembly rather than the PBO. Also on that note, I urge you to ask the Serjeant-at-Arms to shut down the air conditioner (AC) because we do not have quorum in the House and it is very cold.
