flickr_albumid=[72157623090003191] Today, the Center for Civic Communications presented the fourth quarterly Report on the results of the public procurement process monitoring, which besides the regular analysis of public procurement procedures, also contains an analysis of the legal protection in the public procurement procedures. The report, inter alia, noted: Despite its legal obligation, some state institutions, including ministries, did not provide a notification for an agreement for public procurement to the Public Procurements Bureau. The number of government institutions that are not providing data to the Public Procurements Bureau on the incurred costs of 20,000 or 50,000 euros for the procurement of goods and services is increasing. The problem with the delays in reaching the decision to choose the most favorable bid is getting worse. Out of a total of 40 monitored public procurement procedures in this quarter, a decision for choosing the best offer has not been made in 13 cases (33%), and the time delay for reaching a decision in these procedures ranges from 50 to 120 days. The problem with the nullification of public procurement procedures is being mitigated. Out of a total of 40 public procurement procedures, 7 procedures have been completely or partially annulled (17.5%), leading to a certain mitigation of this problem compared to the previous quarter, when 25% of the procedures were annulled. Although increased, the usage of the electronic public procurement system in the last quarter of 2009 is still not on a satisfactory level. In 2009, only 2.5% of the procedures have been conducted through the electronic...

On October 22, 2009 the Center for Civil Communications presented the forth results report on the monitoring process of the public procurements in Macedonia. Besides the regular analysis of public procurement procedures, the report contains the analysis of control and protection in this sphere. Among others, conclusions are: Increasing trend of cancellation of the procedures, approximately 25% of chosen procedures, although more than 5 companies bidders participated, which casts doubt on the motives for the cancellation of the proceedings; In 40% of monitored procedures used "manipulative" elements for selection of the most advantage tender as delivery and payment, warranty, reference list, etc.., which brings into question the principle of providing cost-effective and efficient spending of public money; Very low level of conducting procedures in electronic procurement system, only 1%, which indicates an unwillingness to fulfil the legal obligation - from 2010 electronic system should be used in 30% of procurement as a way of reducing corruption and protection of budget funds; Existing legal and institutional set do not provide quality and efficient mechanisms for the control of procedures for granting and implementation of signed agreements on public procurement; Administrative bodies for monitoring and improving of the public procurement process in the countries of the region have the powers to conduct and oversight the public procurement process, which is not the case with Macedonia.
