🚀 Introducing EGP Decision Pro

Empowering TEC Decisions in Bangladesh e-GP System

Public procurement is one of the most important pillars of national development. Every infrastructure project, water supply network, road construction, sanitation system, or government service begins with a procurement process.

At the heart of this process lies tender evaluation, conducted by the Tender Evaluation Committee (TEC).

For Procuring Entities (PE), Project Directors (PD), and TEC members, evaluating bids is a critical responsibility. The process must strictly follow Public Procurement Rules (PPR 2008) and requires careful financial and technical analysis.

However, tender evaluation is not simple.

Every evaluation often requires complex calculations such as:

✔ Substantially Low Tender (SLT) determination

✔ Weighted average price calculations

✔ National Producer Price Index (NPPI) adjustments

✔ Standard deviation analysis

✔ Responsive vs Non-Responsive bidder identification

Even a small calculation mistake can result in:

• Audit objections

• Tender complaints

• Delays in project approval

• Re-evaluation of bids

To address these challenges, Advanced Apps Bangladesh (AAPBD) developed a specialized platform designed specifically for Bangladesh’s procurement environment.

Introducing:

🧠 EGP Decision Pro

EGP Decision Pro is a smart digital decision-support platform designed to assist procurement professionals in evaluating tenders more accurately, transparently, and efficiently.

The system helps Tender Evaluation Committees (TEC) perform calculations automatically while providing clear explanations for evaluation decisions.

Why Tender Evaluation Needs Digital Support

In many organizations, tender evaluation is still performed manually using spreadsheets.

While spreadsheets are useful, they often lead to several problems:

• Formula errors

• Inconsistent evaluation methods

• Difficulty explaining calculations in evaluation reports

• Lack of transparency during audits

Procurement decisions must be accurate, transparent, and compliant with PPR rules.

EGP Decision Pro was created to bring automation, clarity, and reliability into this process.

Key Features of EGP Decision Pro

Automated SLT Calculation

The system automatically calculates Substantially Low Tender (SLT) thresholds based on bidder data and procurement evaluation principles.

This helps TEC members quickly identify bids that are unusually low and may require clarification.

NPPI Market Trend Analysis

EGP Decision Pro provides tools to understand and apply NPPI (National Producer Price Index) based adjustments.

The platform also explains the 27-day rolling index concept, helping evaluators interpret market trends more accurately.

Bid Responsiveness Analysis

The platform assists evaluators in identifying responsive and non-responsive bidders based on submitted bid data and evaluation criteria.

This improves the speed and accuracy of decision making during evaluation.

Transparent Calculation Explanation

One of the biggest challenges during procurement audits is explaining evaluation decisions clearly.

EGP Decision Pro provides step-by-step calculation transparency, enabling TEC members to:

• Understand each calculation

• Document evaluation logic

• Justify decisions during audit reviews

Designed for Bangladesh Procurement Workflow

EGP Decision Pro is not a generic calculator.

The platform was designed around actual procurement workflows used in Bangladesh, including:

• OCE (Official Cost Estimate) based evaluation

• NPPI market adjustment analysis

• Bid comparison and statistical evaluation

• Evaluation explanation for TEC reports

This makes the system highly practical for government procurement professionals.

Built-In Learning for TEC Members

Many new TEC members often struggle to understand procurement formulas.

EGP Decision Pro includes learning tutorials and explanations covering:

✔ SLT determination methodology

✔ NPPI rolling index interpretation

✔ Market trend analysis in procurement

This allows users to learn while evaluating, making the system useful both as a tool and as a training resource.

Who Should Use EGP Decision Pro

The platform is designed for professionals involved in government procurement, including:

• Procuring Entities (PE)

• Project Directors (PD)

• TEC Members

• Procurement Officers

• Government Engineers

• Procurement Consultants

It is particularly useful for officials working in organizations such as:

• LGED

• DPHE

• Roads & Highways Department

• City Corporations

• Municipalities

• Government infrastructure projects
