  "bluf": "The Thailand Government Procurement and Supplies Management Act B.E. 2560 (2017) (Phra Ratchabanyat Kan Chat Suu Chat Chang Pakong Lae Kan Borihan Pa Su Du Phak Rat / known in Thai as Phra Ratchabanyat Kan Chat Suu Chat Chang 2560) effective 23 August 2017 is the principal Thai statute governing procurement of goods, services, construction works, and consultancy services by state agencies, state enterprises, and other public entities. The 2017 Act replaced a fragmented regime of multiple procurement regulations including the Office of the Prime Minister Regulation on Procurement B.E. 2535 (1992) and consolidated the Thai procurement framework into a single statutory instrument. The 2017 Act was a major reform driven by Thailand's anti-corruption commitments under the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials, the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), and the Thai Government's National Anti-Corruption Strategy. The Act establishes the Comptroller General's Department (Krom Banchi Klang / CGD) within the Ministry of Finance as the central procurement regulator and the operator of the Thai Government Electronic Procurement System (e-GP / process3.gprocurement.go.th). Procurement methods established by the Act include (a) e-bidding (e-bid, the default electronic open tender method), (b) selection method (withi khat lueak), (c) specific method (withi chapho jeh joeng), and (d) market price method (withi tang ratcha tham), with specific-method and selection-method procurement subject to prescribed exceptions and value thresholds. The 2017 Act introduced strengthened integrity provisions including the Integrity Pact (sanya khun na pap) requirement for high-value procurement, supplier debarment lists, and mandatory disclosure of bidder beneficial ownership. The implementing regulations include the Ministerial Regulations on Government Procurement issued pursuant to the Act and the CGD Circulars on procurement procedure. Thailand is an observer to the WTO Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) but is not a party.",
