This redflag indicates risk if members of the BEC do not have the necessary technical expertise to evaluate the submitted bids AND/OR the project uses a standing BEC regardless of what is being procured AND/OR the committee is too large or dominated by a single individual
This redflag indicates risk if there is an unreasonably large number of contracts awarded just below national competitive bidding treshold [NCB] OR there are related and simultaneous purchases from the same supplier in amounts just under the NCB threshold
This redflag indicates risk if methodology and work Plan is not attached to the contract AND/OR appendix lacks information about services and facilities provided by the client
This redflag indicates risk if there are multiple sole source awards or direct contracting to the same company within the same procuring unit, where the items should have been procured separately (e.g., the additional activities are not a natural continuation of the existing contract)
