The indicator tells if the number of competitors determined by the procuring entity in certain procedure types is lower than the legal minimum of bidders. This indicator is built upon Hungarian legal provisions and scans procurement calls.
The indicator tells if the bid bond required by the procuring entity in the procurement call exceeds a limit (2%) compared to the estimated value of procurement, as demanding a too high bid bond might restrict competition.
The indicator tells if the procuring entity - as part of technical and professional capacity - prescribes the certification of references of a higher total value than 75% of the estimated value of the procurement. This redflag is built upon relevant Hungarian legal provisions.
The indicator tells if the potential number of renewals for a contract can be considered above average (3 ore more) or if that might result in a longer contract (4 or more years). Moreover, it can be of significant risk if there is no imformation available with regard to the possible renewals. This indicator scans wording of the relevant fields of the procurement calls.
The indicator shows if the expiry of the deadline for the submission of bids/requests to participate is shorter than the legal minimum, in accordance with the EU law (in case of an open proceudre, the expiry of the deadline for the submission of the bids is relevant).
The indicator tells from the wording of the relevant fieled of the procurement call if the procuring entity allows a deviation of 50% or more with regard to the total quantity (to be acquired) or allows a deviation from the total quantity without charging a fee. This redflags indicates unvertainty in the procurement that restricts competition.
According to the developers of CRI, contract lengthening suggests that the issuer corruptly favour a well-connected company, potentially repeatedly. This indicator contains a relative figure that shows relative contract extension (days of extension/days of contract length).
According to the developers of CRI, contract value increase suggests that the issuer corruptly favour a well-connected company, potentially repeatedly. This indicator also contains a relative figure that shows relative contract price increase (change in contract value/original, contracted contract value). CRCB provides no further clarifications on the indicator, besides statistical data on validation.
Exceptionally short decision periods may indicate rushed through decisions and the corresponding high corruption risks. Exceptionally long decision periods, however may signal multiple legal challenges and troubled decision making hence high corruption risk. The indicator takes into comsideration the number of working days between submission deadline and announcing contract award.
This indicator counts number of characters of the eligibility criteria MINUS average number of characters of the given market's eligibility criteria. It indicates risk if eligibility criteria less visible deters bidders [ie. this indicator implies correlation between "overspecification" and tailored tenders - e.g. according to the statistics criteria length above market average by 520-2639 characters 16 increases probability of a single received bid by 10.4%-11.9% and the winner’s share within issuer’s contracts by 1.3% compared to the shortest criteria-length group]
