Roadmap introduced to prevent delays in Saudi projects

  • Saudi Arabia: Thursday, January 03 - 2013 at 06:54

Saudi Arabia's anti-corruption body has introduced seven guiding principles that will serve as a 'roadmap' for government bodies when awarding tenders, Arab News has reported. The roadmap aims to prevent unnecessary and costly project delays by providing guidance on how project sites should be chosen, the role of consultative and executive bodies, ways to promote competition, and mechanisms to streamline government procurement, said Mohammad Al-Sharif, head of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC). Government bodies must ensure projects are obstacle-free before they are handed over to contractors, Al-Sharif said.
