The director of the department of urban planning in the province of Basra, Abbas, Maher said, "Ministerial Instruction provides for non-compliance Bota tenders in the area of assignment projects, indicating that the province and committees which transmit most of the projects according to the principle of lower bids, which led to the implementation of projects by companies is a good and solid and not possess a history of similar businesses, which appeared in the projects of municipal sewage and building schools.

"
and noted that "it was due to the concerns of the agency responsible for project grants from regulatory authorities where dealing with this point the highest degree of caution." To the one that said contractors Mohsen Ali's (Rn) that "more projects that are forwarded by the province of Basra, based on the selection of lower prices offered by the company and the lack of attention to detail the other."

The Committee is responsible for government contracts in the Office of the province of Basra, the task of choosing companies for projects approved, according to Chairman of the engineer and loyalty of Abdul Karim Obeid, the "there is likely and controls developed by the province in order to refer the project to the competing companies through the mechanism of weighting ratios and strengths, that does not exceed 25% of the rates of penalties. " He's (Rn), "as we rely on the offer from the company for the purpose of penalties and the time provided for completion of the project from the company and the possibility of the company's financial and other controls put into consideration where he became a price submitted is not something basic and that is evident through the assignment of the province for projects earlier." And on the preference to choose between domestic and foreign companies, said "We are looking into equality between domestic and foreign companies and the introduction of controls such as the mainstreaming work completed and which will be the measure of the quality and efficiency of the company."
in turn, denied the governor of Basra behind Abdul Samad, the obligation to grant projects within the criterion of "lowest bid" and said (Rn) "The conservative non-binding bids Bota, but the fear of some staff to follow-up, control and integrity, forcing them to resort to lower bids to secure themselves from legal accountability." "It is the most important goals during this period is the process of discrimination corporations efficient, corporations inefficient, where many of the projects that have taken place in Basra and spent the money have failed because there are companies that are not efficient."
He continued, this goal is achieved by monitoring the performance of the company in the first three months of conducted to judge the work for this company good or not good to be pulled out of work and to give the project a good company and the efficient and sober. And companies lagging or entering the black list will not be allowed to take any project. "The governor of Basra behind Abdul-Samad, said in an earlier statement (Rn) that" the province will be a workshop during the year after the assignment of 800 projects for implementation, demanding at the same time companies commitment to implementing controls the completion of projects.
