Annual Shadow Report on the state of affairs in public procurement 2021
In North Macedonia, public procurements are implemented pursuant to the relatively new Law on Public Procurements whose enforcement started in April 2019 and was adopted with a view to align national legislation with EU Directives on Public Procurement and to address numerous shortfalls under the previous legal solution.
Having in mind advantages brough about by the new legislation on one hand, and the manner in which institutions implement public procurements on the other hand, it could be concluded that time, knowledge and better practices are still needed in order to feel any significant effects from enforcement of the new law.
