Sponsor: Moose Patrol MP
Type: Act of Parliament
A
BILL
TO
INCREASE THE COMPETITION FOR VALUABLE GOVERNMENT TENDERS
Preamble: It is in the Isles’ best interest to have competition on her most valuable government tenders in order to reduce the potential for corruption and encourage governmental efficiency. This Act establishes announcement requirements for such tenders, prolongs the minimum time for which they can be open to bids, and requires justification for exceedingly valuable tenders, without imposing any restrictions on private tenders.
1. Short Title and Enactment
(a) This Act shall be named the “Increase Government Tenders Competition Act.”
(b) This Act comes into force immediately upon passage. It shall not apply to tenders which have already been posted or processed.
(c) This Act was authored by Parry Apollo.
2. Definitions
(a) A Government Tender shall be any tender posted by the MEA in which a good or service is sold to the government.
3. Public Announcement Requirement
(a) The posting of any Government Tender whose starting bid exceeds $5,000 shall require a publicly viewable government announcement in the CityRP Discord’s #gov-announcements channel.
(b) The posting of any group of Government Tenders whose sum of starting bids exceeds $10,000 shall require a publicly viewable government announcement in the CityRP Discord’s #gov-announcements channel.
(c) The government announcement for a tender or group of tenders shall include a link to the specific tender(s) or to the Government Tenders subforum.
(d) If the MEA posts multiple qualifying government tenders within the span of three hours, only one announcement shall be required for all of those tenders.
4. Timing Requirement
(a) Any Government Tender must be open to bids for a minimum of 72 hours from the time of its posting or 24 hours after the last bid, whichever is greater.
(i) If the tender’s starting bid exceeds $5,000, it must instead be open to bids for a minimum of 120 hours from the time of its posting or 24 hours after the last bid, whichever is greater.
5. Justification Requirement
(a) Any Government Tender whose starting bid exceeds $20,000 shall require authorization from the Minister of Economic Affairs. It shall also include a brief written justification to Parliament before the tender is posted explaining why it is not appropriate for the tender to be split into multiple smaller tenders.
