Abstract
This study is an examination of Tender Evaluation Practices in Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies in Ashanti Region of Ghana. It takes into account how tenders are evaluated and by whom and also the criteria for the selection of contractors. The effectiveness of the processes of evaluation is also considered as well as interferences with the process. The researcher used quantitative data which involved the use of primary source collected through the questionnaires from the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assembly. Data obtained and analysed showed that there were permanent Tender Evaluation Panel. In addition, there are unfair tendering processes in various MMDAs. Delays in tender evaluation due to lack of capacity consumes time and other resources. It was also noticed that tender evaluation panel members are remunerated by the MMDAs in question. It was proposed that influences from politicians must be eliminated to allow for true transparency and speed in tender evaluation. It is emphasized that Tender evaluation should be done against criteria set in tender documents.
