The action plan for the implementation of the Public Procurement Development Programme (2019-2013), as part of the “Strengthening the Institutional Framework” measure, envisages the organization of training for the preparation of exams for public procurement officers.
In this regard, during October and December 2023, the Office of Public Procurement, with the support of the US Agency for International Development and the Project for the Improvement of Public Procurement, held two trainings for the preparation of taking the exam, which were attended by 300 participants.
The aim of the training was to improve the knowledge and understanding about public procurements of persons dealing with public procurements both at the contracting parties and at the bidders, as well as to help prepare for examination for public procurement officers organised by the Office.
The training included a presentation of the legal and institutional framework in the field of public procurement, the role of institutions responsible for regulation, monitoring and supervision of public procurement, types of public procurement procedures, determining deadlines, criteria for the qualitative selection of a business entity, criteria for awarding contracts, protection of rights and other important topics in the field of public procurement.
