MRDPW PREPARES AMENDMENT TO THE LAW ON PUBLIC PROCUREMENT ON THE PROPOSAL OF BRANCH ORGANIZATIONS

The public procurement procedure, based on the „engineering“ principle, which makes construction more expensive and creates conditions for corruption, should be abolished in the case of construction financed in whole or in part with funds from the state or municipal budgets. This should also apply to subsidies from the European Structural and Investment Funds and from companies that are wholly or partly state or municipal owned.

Contracting entities must conduct separate public procurement for design, construction and construction supervision. An exception should be allowed only for national sites that are determined to be unique by the National Assembly. Engineering can be applied to small sites or in cases of disasters and accidents in order to more quickly overcome the consequences of them. The management of the Ministry of Regional Development and Public Works and representatives of the chambers of architects and engineers in the investment design agreed on this at their meeting, informs the press center of the Ministry.

The changes around which the participants have united will be proposed to be included in the Public Procurement Act.
