Affect of the public procurement procedure on the procurement efficiency of Airport and Aviation Services (Sri Lanka) Ltd.

Abstract

Today supply of goods or services to the customers is more complex than the past under a competitive market. The reason for this scenario is the lack of resources prevails in the earth. Therefore this lack of resources should manage properly to satisfy the customer’s demand. However if the goods or services is not provided at the right time to the customer, the customer has to suffering of not having his desired requirement at the time of he really need it. Any country in the world, the government handles the people’s funds. It is a rule which is come from ancient time. Therefore the king or the government should responsible for these funds. Under these circumstances, government should carefully manage these funds (This Funds ultimately transfer as benefits for the nation) if not government will be rejected by the nation Under this scenario, there should be proper methods when the government utilizes these funds. When we consider the public procurement, there is a procedure which is guided by National Procurement Guild Lines with Procurement Manual in order to utilize the public funds carefully. But as per the customers’ perception, they always not satisfy with the time that they are provided the essential item by the government. Complain is the government is unable to supply the goods or services at the right time. Unless the government organizations purchase the needs at right time they will be unable to supply the needs to the consumers at the right time. The Airport and Aviation is the owner and the operator of all civil airports in Sri Lanka, therefore the procurement of AASL should be more efficiency and effectiveness to achieve the common objectives. The failures of procurement performances of AASL align to fail the service quality which create more complain both local and foreign passengers and it create a impossible background to obtain a best value from the airport uses and it may occurred reducing the no of interesting carriers for the airports. However, in this research my object is find that is there any delay is raised when the AASL is involving purchasing with the public procurement procedure. Study the procedure and guild lines, collecting data from AASL and selected several private organizations; analyze those data to find a better result and recommend some solutions for the raising problems.
