| Summary: | This assessment reviews the current
status of public procurement in Armenia and makes
recommendations for further improvements. It also provides
an update of the Country Procurement Assessment Report
(CPAR) carried out in May 2004. The report includes an
action plan to assist the Government of Armenia (GoA) in
moving the procurement reform agenda forward. The assessment
was carried out jointly with the counterpart team appointed
by the Minister of Finance. The major procurement
legislation and other procurement-related laws and decrees,
and documents were analyzed and interviews were conducted
with procuring entities, suppliers, contractors, consulting
firms, civil society, and government officials. The
benchmarking report provides a reference point for the GoA
to monitor and measure improvements in the public
procurement system, and to formulate a capacity development
plan to move towards a sound procurement system that leads
to economy and efficiency in public expenditure. Donors can
use these results to develop strategies for assisting in
procurement capacity building and to mitigate risks in their
individual operations. In order to further broaden the
perspective on the public procurement functions in Armenia
and also to focus on certain specific areas of concern, case
studies have been carried out on public procurement in
health and transport sectors. In light of the GoA interest
in introducing Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP), the
team has also prepared a special study on the subject, using
the readiness assessment guide of the multilateral
development banks' e-GP working group. Case studies
have also been prepared on anti-corruption measures, and
public-private partnership, given the importance of these
topics to public procurement. |
