Procurement Performance against Procurement Cycle by Sub projects
![Page 11: Innovative Approaches to Community Based Procurement in South Asia A.K.Kalesh Kumar & Payal Malik Madan South Asia Regional Procurement Services 2010 Fiduciary.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e435503460f94b367e1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Communities excel in identifying needs and in the planning stages
Performance on market search for bidders, tendering, tender opening and evaluation was poor
Participation of stakeholders for ensuring right procurement outcome seen in high rating in Awards and Completion
Despite poor performance in certain stages, outcomes were good and high scores were seen for completion, project implementation quality and VfM, compared to conventional procurement cycle,
Procurement Rating

A Flexible FM arrangement: rating in subprojects
![Page 17: Innovative Approaches to Community Based Procurement in South Asia A.K.Kalesh Kumar & Payal Malik Madan South Asia Regional Procurement Services 2010 Fiduciary.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e435503460f94b367e1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Funds were directly channeled into the hands of communities with a strong emphasis on information disclosure and transparency especially for project budgets, contracting and procurement
Broad categories of funds were made available and communities could use their discretion to make consensual investments
To generate cost savings, improve ownership and accountability communities were expected to contribute a fixed share of the project cost.
Findings on Financial Management Arrangement
![Page 18: Innovative Approaches to Community Based Procurement in South Asia A.K.Kalesh Kumar & Payal Malik Madan South Asia Regional Procurement Services 2010 Fiduciary.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e435503460f94b367e1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Findings on Financial Management Arrangement Funds were disbursed in multiple tranches upon completion of milestones.
Other than external audits, local level finance and audit committees constituting community beneficiaries verified utilization.
These arrangements have instilled confidence and built Community capacity to regulate fund flow, plan, budget and procure to manage Sound credit management and access to credit from banks

PART IIInnovations in
Community Based Procurement
![Page 21: Innovative Approaches to Community Based Procurement in South Asia A.K.Kalesh Kumar & Payal Malik Madan South Asia Regional Procurement Services 2010 Fiduciary.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e435503460f94b367e1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
RBP is a recent concept: In RBP, the communities establish a mutually beneficial and accountable commercial relationship with the supplier. RBP Approach argue that risk and crisis can be better managed and resolved through mutual dependability.
In the sub projects reviewed by the study, the community opting for RBP based on trust and inter dependability shown to have ensured quality of materials, Just-in-Time Supply and efficient post delivery servicing.
Relationship Based Procurement (RBP) influencing Procurement Outcomes
![Page 22: Innovative Approaches to Community Based Procurement in South Asia A.K.Kalesh Kumar & Payal Malik Madan South Asia Regional Procurement Services 2010 Fiduciary.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e435503460f94b367e1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
RBP in Action…Working with Suppliers to Achieve Innovative and Cost Effective SolutionsSome 100 kms. away from district head quarters, the only available resources available in Obari are the natural resources: the river, land and forest
As part MPDPIP, the income generation activity for SHG planned was:using the river water for irrigation of the surrounding lands. However, the challenges were, fields were at a height of 6 meters and 1.5 km away from the river.
SHG approached vendors with this unique requirement. Among 3 Suppliers approached, Sanjay Agrico, the villagers took the challenge of assembling pump manufactured by Greaves and rail pipes manufactured by Reliance.
![Page 23: Innovative Approaches to Community Based Procurement in South Asia A.K.Kalesh Kumar & Payal Malik Madan South Asia Regional Procurement Services 2010 Fiduciary.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e435503460f94b367e1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
RBP in Action… Working with Suppliers to Achieve Innovative and Cost Effective Solutions
The pump failed on the day of inauguration! Supplier through in-house R&D came up with another solution which was a modified auto rickshaw engine which had the capacity to pump the water up to the needed height. Surprisingly, this unconventional solution worked!
The SHG had successfully implemented the work with nearly a 50% cost savings, passed on by Supplier (RBP working!) and the Supplier had created a credible market where private individuals are opting for their innovative solution, not a registered trade mark (again RBP at work!)

RBP in Action… A Buy Back Arrangement Delivering VfM for Silk Weavers
Mahan Laxmi SHG started the livelihoods initiative by extending $100 loans to 15 poor women members of the village depended on their household looms
The next big step was SHG deciding to join Silk Federation Group. “…there was resource mapping done in the village and we decided to federate as group to work for ourselves and not for the Muddalali (Moneylender)…”who first loaned money to the poor to buy raw material from him and then bought back their produce for servicing the interest on the original loan!
As some members wanted the traditional machines, and others the Jacobean ones, SHG did a market survey to get rate estimates to guide the members for these individual purchases. A manufacturer of machinesand yarn was identified through this process.

in Action… A Buy Back Arrangement Delivering VfM for Silk Weavers
RBPOffer to procure yarn in bulk and directing new members for machines were the negotiation points for SHG
A weekly run of service mechanic, free oil and servicing and delivery of yarn at door step were the counter offers from the supplier
A 30% savings on cost of yarn and the good manners of the supplier and service mechanic resulted in an instant establishment of Relationship Based ProcurementSHG has proudly announced that they supply to 2 leading Silk Saree Show Rooms in Chennai- Chennai Silks and Mudra Sons- another spin off from the good business SHG had offered the Supplier…And the Procurement Committee still travels to the city- Trichy every month to verify the rates!!

The project team organized village and district level meetings with suppliers to establish linkages, understand product specifications and their prices.
Selected community representatives from all villages were invited to identify and shortlist their needs. Local suppliers were identified and listed with the positive and negative aspects of their quality and service
Local suppliers were identified and listed with the positive and negative aspects of their quality and service.
