INTEGRITY OF CONTRACTING AUTHORITIES IN BiH IS PUBLIC PROCUREMENT IN BiH REALLY PUBLIC?

A monitoring team of Transparency International BiH conducted monitoring of 173 contracting authorities by monitoring 1566 public procurements in the period April-September 2017. The contracting authorities were divided into 16 levels which allowed the process to encompass all government levels in BiH.

• How is it possible that BAM 10.819.255,06 from the public funds were spent through the BiH public procurements without previously determined plan or a decision?
• What is the percentage of the contracting authorities that completely ignore requests to comply with the public procurement procedures?
• What kinds of goods and services are purchased through the public procurement?
• What is the evaluation of the public procurements conducted by the Agency for identification documents, registers and data exchange – IDDEEA, Public Enterprise Elektroprivreda BiH d.d., Sarajevo, Federal Department of Goods Reserves, the City of Sarajevo, Communications Regulatory Agency BiH or the Ministry of Defence?
Answers to those and many other questions will be provided by the representatives of monitoring teams and experts involved in the project:
