Government Procurement Efficiency and Combating Corruption Workshop

-

CLDP hosted in close cooperation with the Ukraine Ministry of Economic Development and Trade and the Ministry of Infrastructure, the second workshop on public procurement and corruption. With Ukraine's recent accession (May 2016) to the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) under the WTO, CLDP is assisting the Ukrainian public and private sectors to align the local laws with the GPA standards, while working to minimize opportunities for corruption. Topics covered during the workshop included e-procurement, practical application of local and international laws/regulations, the new World Bank procurement framework, and the role of anti-corruption authorities which was practically applied through a series of interactive case studies. Workshop objectives included emphasizing the importance of supporting the existing Prozorro system through further development of legislation and regulations governing the public procurement (examples – the legal definition of partitioning of the tender bids, the problem of abnormally low tender bid prices, legal definition of "connected person (related party)", and to broaden the scope of Prozorro by including subthreshold procurement transactions.
