Introduction
Introduction This Spreadsheet Database lists the particulars of all contracts awarded by Public Bodies since May 1, 2006, which have been reported to the INTEGRITY COMMISSION (IC) by way of Quarterly Contract Award (QCA) Reports.
Effective July 1, 2012, Public Bodies are required to report all contracts within a value range of J$500,001.00 to infinity.
The value of contracts to be reported on QCA Reports by Public Bodies have been adjusted over the years. As such, it is worthwhile to note the following contract values which were to be reported prior to July 1, 2012:
- June 20, 2012 to June 30, 2012 J$500,001.00 to J$15,000,000.00
- October 1, 2008 to June 19, 2012 J$275,001.00 to J$10,000,000.00
- May 1, 2006 to September 30, 2008 J$250,000.00 to J$4,000,000.00
Structure of the Spreadsheet Database
The QCAR Database is downloadable and searchable, allowing users to sort and filter contract records using the available data fields. It also provides basic statistical information, which automatically recalculates when filters are applied, enabling users to examine the information according to their specific interests.
Conditions of Use, Caveats and Disclaimers
The information in the database is published as reported by procuring entities. Each Quarterly Contract Award Report is formally declared by the Accounting Officer of the procuring entity to be true and accurate, and the reports are subject to review and analysis by the Commission, with contracts selected for monitoring examined in greater detail. While the Commission does not independently verify every entry, the database provides a comprehensive and authoritative record of contract awards as reported.
The Commission maintains a process through which procuring entities may correct omissions and clerical errors in their reports. The database will therefore be updated from time to time as corrections and late reports are received. Users are encouraged to refer to the most recent version of the database and to note the date of extraction when citing the information.
