SKOPJE, December 28, 2012 – Today the Centre for Civil Communications published findings from their monitoring of public procurement procedures in Macedonia covering the period from July to September 2012. Some of the key findings are: There is a continually increasing problem of annulment of larger tenders - those for procurement of goods and services costing more than 20,000 euros or for implementation of works costing more than 50,000 euros. There is an increasing trend of adopting decisions to annul such tenders mainly because the estimated value of the procurement is lower than the bids offered by the companies. Some institutions continue to disobey the rule for accurate definition of the evaluation criteria. Instead of the quality of a bid, some tenders mainly appraise the experience of the bidding companies. In the third quarter of 2012, 210 contracts amounting to 14 million euros were concluded through non-transparent negotiating procedures without publishing a call for bids. Overall, in the first nine months of 2012, the value of such contracts amounted to approximately 32 million euros. A comparative analysis of the Macedonian legislation and seven European countries indicates that no other country creates so-called ”black lists” of bidders that are banned from participating in tender processes for a given time period (1 to 5 years) for activating bank guarantees. The monitoring report is available on-line at www.ccc.org.mk. For further information please contact the Centre for Civil Communications at (02) 3213-513 or at center@ccc.org.mk.
