🚀 Introducing EGP Decision Pro

Empowering Every TEC Decision in Bangladesh e-GP

Public procurement plays a crucial role in the development of Bangladesh. Every infrastructure project, public facility, or government service ultimately begins with a procurement process.

At the center of this process is tender evaluation, a critical responsibility carried out by the Tender Evaluation Committee (TEC).

For Procuring Entities (PE), Project Directors (PD), and TEC members, evaluating bids is not just about comparing prices. It requires strict compliance with Public Procurement Rules (PPR 2008) and careful analysis of multiple financial and technical indicators.

A small calculation mistake can lead to:

• Audit objections

• Complaints from bidders

• Delays in project approval

• Re-evaluation of the tender

To address these challenges, Advanced Apps Bangladesh (AAPBD) developed a specialized digital platform designed specifically for Bangladesh’s e-GP procurement ecosystem.

Introducing:

🧠 EGP Decision Pro

EGP Decision Pro is a smart decision-support platform designed to simplify and improve the tender evaluation process within Bangladesh’s Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP) framework.

The platform assists TEC members and procurement professionals by automating complex calculations and presenting evaluation insights in a clear, transparent manner.

Why Tender Evaluation is Complex

Tender evaluation under PPR 2008 requires several analytical steps that must be performed accurately.

These often include:

✔ SLT (Substantially Low Tender) determination

✔ Weighted average price calculations

✔ NPPI market trend adjustments

✔ Standard deviation analysis

✔ Responsive vs Non-Responsive bidder detection

Traditionally, these calculations are performed manually using spreadsheets.

However, manual evaluation often leads to:

• Formula errors

• Misinterpretation of rules

• Lack of transparency in evaluation reports

• Difficulty explaining decisions during audit

EGP Decision Pro was built to remove these risks.

Key Features of EGP Decision Pro

Automated SLT Determination

The system automatically calculates Substantially Low Tender thresholds according to procurement rules and bidder data.

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

NPPI Market Trend Analysis

The platform integrates NPPI (National Producer Price Index) concepts and explains the 27-day rolling index logic used in procurement market adjustments.

This helps evaluators understand whether current bid prices align with market conditions.

Smart Bid Responsiveness Analysis

EGP Decision Pro assists in evaluating bidder responsiveness by analyzing submitted bid data and comparing it with evaluation criteria.

This makes it easier to identify:

• Responsive bidders

• Non-responsive bids

• Price anomalies

Transparent Evaluation Calculations

One of the biggest challenges in procurement evaluation is explaining decisions clearly in evaluation reports.

EGP Decision Pro provides transparent calculation breakdowns that allow TEC members to:

• Understand each step of the evaluation

• Present clear justification in TEC reports

• Reduce audit risk

Designed Around Real Procurement Workflows

Unlike generic calculation tools, EGP Decision Pro is designed around the real workflow used in Bangladesh’s procurement system.

The platform supports evaluation concepts commonly used in government projects such as:

• OCE (Official Cost Estimate) based analysis

• NPPI-based price trend evaluation

• Bid comparison and statistical analysis

• Transparent evaluation explanation for TEC documentation

This makes the system highly relevant for agencies involved in public procurement.

Built-In Learning for Procurement Professionals

Many newly appointed TEC members often struggle to understand procurement evaluation formulas.

To support knowledge development, EGP Decision Pro includes step-by-step learning modules, explaining concepts such as:

✔ SLT determination methodology

✔ NPPI rolling index interpretation

✔ Market trend analysis in procurement

This allows procurement professionals to learn while evaluating, improving both accuracy and understanding.

Who Can Use EGP Decision Pro

The platform is designed for professionals working within Bangladesh’s public procurement system, including:

• Procuring Entities (PE)

• Project Directors (PD)

• Tender Evaluation Committee (TEC) Members

• Procurement Officers

• Government Engineers

• Procurement Consultants

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

• LGED

• DPHE

• Roads & Highways Department

• City Corporations

• Municipalities

• Other government procuring entities
