SKOPJE, September 6, 2013 – Today, the Center for Civil Communications published the monitoring results for public procurements implemented by local level institutions in the six-month period from October 2012 to March 2013. Comparative analysis of municipalities’ public procurements shows major disparities among individual municipalities, not only in terms of the total amount of public funds spent by means of public procurements, but also in terms of public procurement spending per capita that ranges from 2 EUR in the Municipality of Suto Orizari to 400 EUR in the Municipally of Centar. Regular monitoring of public procurements provides the following conclusions: - Certain shortcomings, remarks or inconsistencies noted in the implementation of public procurements are common for a dominant share of monitored local level procedures. - More than half of monitored procurement procedures required the companies to fulfil certain specific eligibility criteria for tender participation, thereby limiting the competition. - Although mandated by law, e-auctions were scheduled only in 53% of monitored procurement procedures. Dominant reason indicated for failure to organize e-auction was the fact that only one company or no companies submitted a bid. - The share of annulled procedures from the local level monitoring sample is on the same level compared to the previous monitoring period (15%). In one-third of annulled procedures, contracting authorities indicated that the procedure has been annulled due to the fact that they have not obtained a single bid. This Report is available here.
