Contract Management: Guidance Note on Procurement

Contract management encompasses three stages: preparation and planning activities prior to contract award, contract administration during contract implementation, and contract closure.

Procurement Risk Framework: Guidance Note on Procurement

This guidance note describes ADB’s procurement risk framework for managing procurement risk throughout the procurement cycle. Effective risk management minimizes impacts on project objectives from adverse events. The guidance note describes how risks are identified, assessed, and managed at the country and sector/agency levels, and how those risks are used as inputs into the identification, assessment, and management of risk at the project level during procurement planning and through contract implementation.

Secured Insurance Framework Using Blockchain and Smart Contract

Traditional insurance policy settlement is a manual process that is never hassle-free. There are many issues, such as hidden conditions from the insurer or fraud claims by the insured, making the settlement process rough. This process also consumes a significant amount of time that makes the process very inefficient. This whole scenario can be disrupted by the implementation of blockchain and smart contracts in insurance. Blockchain and innovative contract technology can provide immutable data storage, security, transparency, authenticity, and security while any transaction process is triggered. With the implementation of blockchain, the whole insurance process, from authentication to claim settlement, can be done with more transparency and security. A blockchain is a virtual chain of data blocks that is a decentralized technology. Any transaction or change in the blocks is done after the decentralized validator entity, not a single person. The smart contract is a unique facility stored on the blockchain that gets executed when the predetermined conditions are met. This paper presents a framework where smart contracts are used for insurance contracts and stored on blockchain. In the case of a claim, if all the predetermined conditions are met, the transaction happens; otherwise, it is discarded. The conditions are immutable. That means there is scope for alteration from either side. This blockchain and intelligent contract-based framework are hosted on a private Ethereum network. The Solidity programming language is used to create smart contracts. The framework uses the Proof of Authority (PoA) consensus algorithm to validate the transactions. In the case of any faulty transaction request, the consensus algorithm acts according to and cancels the claim. With blockchain and smart contract implementation, this framework can solve all the trust and security issues that rely on a standard insurance policy.

Model Penerapan Akad Transaksi Syariah Pada BUMDes Pengalangan Sejahtera Dalam Masyarakat Pluralisme

<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>This research aim to determine the implementation model of sharia transaction contracts based on Fatwan DSN MUI and SAK Syariah at BUMDes Pengalangan Sejahtera. This study explain the application of sharia transactions in a pluralistic society to find out the understanding and interest of the community become a customer of a village bank based on sharia principles. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative method with secondary and primary data. Supporting data collection was carried out by field studies through interviews, observation and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of the contract on BUMDes transactions is not in accordance with the Fatwa of the MUI and SAK Syariah DSN, so the researchers provide results in the form of a sharia contract implementation model in accordance with the various types of financing products applied by village banks to BUMDes Pengalangan Sejahtera. In general, the non-conformity of SAK Syariah lies in the preparation of BUMDes financial statements where there is no difference between recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure. Meanwhile, according to the MUI DSN Fatwa, the non-conformity lies in several applicable provisions.</span></p></div></div></div>

Identification and management of frail patients in English primary care: an analysis of the General Medical Services 2018/2019 contract dataset

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to explore the extent of implementation of the General Medical Services 2018/2019 ‘frailty identification and management’ contract in general practitioner (GP) practices in England, and link implementation outcomes to a range of practice and Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) factors.DesignA cross-sectional study design using publicly available datasets relating to the year 2018 for all GP practices in England.SettingsEnglish general practices.DataThe analysis was conducted across 6632 practices in 193 CCGs with 9 995 558 patients aged 65 years or older.OutcomesFrailty assessment rates, frailty coding rates and frailty prevalence rates, plus rates of medication reviews, falls assessments and enriched Summary Care Records (SCRs).AnalysisSummary statistics were calculated and multilevel negative binomial regression analysis was used to investigate relationships of the six outcomes with explanatory factors.Results14.3% of people aged 65 years or older were assessed for frailty, with 35.4% of these—totalling 5% of the eligible population—coded moderately or severely frail. 59.2% received a medications review, but rates of falls assessments (3.7%) and enriched SCRs (21%) were low. However, percentages varied widely across practices and CCGs. Practice differences in contract implementation were most strongly accounted for by their grouping within CCGs, with weaker but still important associations with some practice and CCG factors, particularly healthcare demand-related factors of chronic caseload and (negatively) % of patients aged 65 years or older.ConclusionCCG appears the strongest determinant of practice engagement with the frailty contract, and fuller implementation may depend on greater engagement of CCGs themselves, particularly in commissioning suitable interventions. Practices understandably targeted frailty assessments at patients more likely to be found severely frail, resulting in probable underidentification of moderately frail individuals who might benefit most from early interventions. Frailty prevalence estimates based on the contract data may not reflect actual rates.

The Role Of The Sharia Supervisory Board (DPS) In Supervision Of Contract Implementation At The Binjai Branch Bri Sharia

This study aims to determine the position and function of DPS in contract making, supervision of contract implementation, and the effectiveness of contract supervision at Bank BRI Syariah Binjai Branch. In this research, the researcher conducted research using qualitative methods. Research that uses a qualitative approach aims to explore or build a proportion or explain the meaning behind reality. Researchers are based on reality or events that take place in the field. Qualitative research methods can be interpreted as research that produces descriptive data, regarding spoken and written words, and observable behavior of the people being studied. Qualitative research is also research that produces descriptions in the form of words or verbally from the phenomenon under study or from people who are competent in their fields. The results of this study are that the position and function of the DPS in drafting the BRI Syariah Bank contract is appropriate. In general, what is being done is to supervise all forms of activities related to existing contracts in the bank. This supervision also takes the form of standardizing and ratifying contract standards that apply nationally in the sense that it applies to all BRI Syariah branches, as well as assisting parties in disseminating information to BRI Syariah branches in the regions.

DINAMIKA PENERAPAN AKAD SYARIAH DALAM PRODUK KEUANGAN DI BANK SYARIAH

Sociologically, the existence of Islamic banks in Indonesia had developed since the early 1990 through a long time of workshops and bureaucratic processes until Bank Muamalat Indonesia was established as the first Islamic bank in Indonesia. The existence of Bank Muamalat Indonesia, as the first Islamic bank, has a mission to present an Islamic banking institution that is free from the interest system by replacing its operational system through Islamic principles. Normatively, the profit sharing concept used to an operational system for Islamic banks in Indonesia which has been regulated in Article 1 Number 12 of the Law of Banking Number 7 of 1992, then the dual banking system in Article 9 of the Law of Banking Number 10 of 1998, and the latest. is the application of Islamic principles in the Law of Islamic Bank Number 21 of 2008 through using six patterns: first, the deposit through the wadi'ah contract; second, borrowing through qard and qardh al-hasan contracts; third, the profit sharing scheme through mudharabah and syirkah contracts; fourth, buying and selling through murabahah, salam, and istishna' contracts; fifth, the rental scheme through ijarah and ijarah muntahiya bi al-tamlik contracts; and sixth, the services through wakalah, kafalah, hiwalah, ujr, sharf, and rahn contracts. The result of this study shows that the changes of Islamic banking regulations have implications to the dynamics of Islamic contract implementation in Islamic banking financial products in Indonesia.Abstrak: Secara sosiologis eksistensi bank syariah di Indonesia sudah berkembang sejak awal tahun 1990-an melalui serangkaian proses panjang lokakarya dan birokrasi sehingga berdiri Bank Muamalat Indonesia sebagai bank syariah pertama di Indonesia. Eksistensi Bank Muamalat Indonesia sebagai bank syariah memiliki misi untuk menghadirkan lembaga perbankan syariah yang bebas dari sistem bunga dengan mengganti sistem opersionalnya dengan prinsip-prinsip Islam. Penggunaan konsep bagi hasil sebagai sistem operasional bank syariah di Indonesia secara normatif telah diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 1992 tentang Perbankan pada Pasal 1 angka 12, kemudian dual banking system dalam Pasal 9 Undang-Undang Nomor 10 Tahun 1998 dan yang terkahir adalah penerapan prinsip syariah dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 21 Tahun 2008 dengan menggunakan enam pola: pertama, pola titipan melalui akad wadi’ah; kedua, pola pinjaman, melalui akad qard dan qardh al-hasan; ketiga, pola bagi hasil melalui akad mudharabah dan syirkah; keempat, pola jual beli melalui akad murabahah, salam, dan istishna’; kelima, pola sewa melalui akad ijarah dan ijarah muntahiya bi al-tamlik; keenam, pola jasa melalui akad wakalah, kafalah, hiwalah, ujr, sharf, dan rahn. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa perubahan regulasi perbankan syariah telah berimpli­kasi terhadap dinamika penerapan akad syariah dalam produk keuangan bank syariah di Indonesia.

Synergy of Business, Law and Economy in the Smart-Contract Implementation

The evolution of digital technologies leads to a tectonic transformation of all spheres of society. Law, as a system of regulating public relations, is changing dynamically along with the development of public relations in different spheres. The development of IT led to the emergence of blockchain technology, which, in turn, became the basis for the development of smart contracts. Smart contract technology, as it develops, causes changes not only in the legislation, but also in the model of interaction between the state and business. Due to smart contracts, a significant part of the rules can be algorithmized, and the regulation can become machine-readable. Purpose of the research: Legal research of the current legislation, the synergy of business, law and economy in the implementation of smart contract technology, determination of theoretical concepts in relation to smart contracts, the content and problems of the application of smart contracts, and identification of the most significant proposals for improving legislation. Methods: The authors of the research used general and specific scientific methods. In the study of the technological foundations of the smart contract, the main methods were analysis, synthesis, analogy, and a system-structural approach.
