Public Procurement Consulting Services

Introduction

Public procurement is a vital part of local public administration, not only in terms of the strict regulations governing the use of public funds but also in terms of administrative efficiency. According to the statistical report by the National Agency for Public Procurement (ANAP) for the period from 01.01.2022 to 31.12.2022, 32,087 procurement procedures were initiated, of which 19,045 were simplified procedures and 12,230 were open tenders. The estimated value of contracts monitored through SEAP was 27,220,901,727,000 lei for open tenders and 3,207,656,854,000 lei for simplified procedures.

Complexity of Public Procurement Procedures

The organization and execution of a public procurement procedure is a complex activity that includes a wide range of tasks, from preparing documentation, to evaluating offers, and finally awarding contracts. The law allows contracting authorities to turn to auxiliary service providers to obtain assistance and advice for the proper conduct and structuring of public procurement procedures.
