| Summary: | This Operational Procurement Report
(OPR) provides an assessment of the public-sector
procurement system in Kosovo, including that on the
legislative framework, the responsibilities and capacity of
the institutions entrusted with regulatory and review
powers, the efficacy of current procurement practices, and
on the environment. The report makes recommendations to
bring about legislative, institutional and procedural
improvements in the conduct of public procurement, and to
bolster the capacity of public-sector institutions to
conduct procurement. The report also examines the
performance of procurement in projects financed by the Bank,
assesses the fiduciary risk to Bank funds from procurement
operations in Kosovo, and makes recommendations for the
design of procurement arrangements on new Bank-financed
projects, and for future supervision of procurement to
mitigate that risk. Among the various report
recommendations, outlined are the enactment of a
transitional legal instrument and completion of the
legislative framework for public procurement. Furthermore,
greater transparency and accountability of public officials
conducting procurement transactions should be ensured, while
technical capacity for public procurement should be built
within the public sector. Most importantly, over the medium
term, the new Law on Public Procurement should be amended. |
