Bosnia and Herzegovina - Country Procurement Assessment Report : Social Protection
This first Country Procurement
Assessment Report (CPAR) for Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH),
looks at public procurement operations, in consultation with
counterparts from the ministeries of Finance, of the
Federation of BiH, of the Republic of Srpska, and of the
cantons of Sarajevo, Travnik, Mostar, and Banja Luka. It
focuses on the following key themes: ensuring reduced, and
more efficient public spending; increasing transparency, by
improving access to information on bidding opportunities,
and public contract spending; improving the ability of
public institutions on appropriate spending of public
procurement funds, and institutional regulation of
procurement; fighting the risks of corruption; and promoting
access to the World Trade Organization, and European Union.
Key findings suggest that procurement is a neglected
function, where the absence of a State law on procurement is
a serious omission, assessing the public procurement
environment is high-risk. There are many weaknesses in the
current legal system, though current frameworks are
reasonably aligned, and governments are willing to harmonize
them further. Nonetheless, gaps in the legislation breed
abusive practices in public procurement, fostered by poor
enforcement, though the benefits of competitive bidding are
becoming known, and some large purchasers are using standard
bidding documents for all procurement. Recommendations
include the need for procurement laws at the State, and
entity levels, supported by implementing regulations, while
organizational reform is needed to improve enforcement.
