First quarterly report on monitoring the implementation of public procurement 2013

From November 2008, the Centre for Civil Communications from Skopje has continuously analysed the implementation of public procurements in the Republic of Macedonia as regulated under the Law on Public Procurement. The analysis aims to assess the implementation of public procurements in the light of the new Law on Public Procurement and the application of the underlying principles of transparency, competitiveness, equal treatment of economic operators, non-discrimination, legal proceeding, cost-effectiveness, efficiency, effectiveness and cost-effective public spending, the commitment to obtain the best bid under most favourable terms and conditions, as well as accountability for the public spending as part of procurements.
