Along with assessing the
comprehensiveness, transparency, and competitiveness of
Armenia's public procurement system, this CPAR
addressed specific issues of importance to Government. The
MOFE has been advocating that procurement using
extra-budgetary donor funds follow the same rules as
budget-funded procurement, with the SPA playing the same
role. The Authorized Body, which regulates and monitors
public procurement (attached to the Ministry of Finance) has
been keen to introduce electronic procurement and has
already hired a firm to develop specifications. The Ministry
of Defense (MOD) has established an internal procurement
department and requested the CPAR team's advice in its
effort to identify which of its purchases could be suitable
for open bidding, as required by law. Therefore the CPAR
covers these four key topics: (1) the current degree of
centralization of procurement control within the State
Procurement Agency; (2) gradual transfer of experience and
authority for procurement using Bank funds from Project
Implementation Units to the line ministries; (3) the
potential for introducing electronic catalogues for periodic
procurement and the strategy for introducing other
e-procurement uses; and (4) introduction of open bidding
procedures for the procurement of non-sensitive items by the
Ministry of Defense (MOD). The CPAR presents concrete
recommendations that would contribute to three of the five
core fiscal strategy objectives of the PER: (1) provide for
major improvements in budget accountability to ensure that
incremental resources are spent in a transparent and
efficient way, (2) increase expenditures on basic health and
education, and (3) ensure more efficient use of budget
resources. In turn, the CPAR identifies ways in which budget
planning and execution, which are a major focus of the
Country Financial Accountability Assessment, significantly
contribute to overuse of single-source and other
non-competitive procurement methods. |
