Submission of appeal takes less than two minutes • An appealed tender will be “frozen” for a period of 10 business days. During this period the eDRB will review the appeal and the results will be published in the Ge-GP

  15. What they say about Ge-GP • “..most integrity safeguards and procurement efficiency instruments recommended by international best practice were adopted in Georgia in 2010” - EBRD • “The official electronic procurement system through which the government does its contracting is state of the art and among the most transparent and efficient systems in the world” – TI-Georgia • “The e-Procurement system implemented in Georgia may serve as a good example for Asia and other Pacific countries. The countries, which have not yet introduced the e-Procurement system, are particularly interested in the reforms implemented in Georgia” - ADB • “The European Parliament Welcomes Georgia’s new procurement system, Georgia should also serve as an example for the EU Member States in this area” – The European Parliament

  16. Evaluation of Ge-GP

  17. Challenges and problems • Lack of competences of all stakeholders • Elaboration of guidelines; Trainings for representatives of public and private sector; elaboration of recommendations derived from the empirical analysis. • Non-active CSOs • Extension of analytical work in the Agency, aggregation of information from previous tenders, make aggregated information accessible. • Absence of standardized description of goods and services, checklists, toolkits, etc. • Cooperation with private sector for elaboration of neutral product descriptions. • What is high quality? No agreed vision, Subjective perception; weak and nonsufficient national norms/standards; no-self regulating business associations

  18. Challenges and problems • Overload of e-DRB • Number of appeals are increasing – resources should not remain the same. • Low Salaries of Procurement officers • The profession of procurement officer needs to be promoted and protected • Not enough analytics • Constant need of conducting in depth analyses of PP market, behavior of suppliers and contracting authorities

  19. Main Findings • High quality . • Cheap • Fast Long time Expensive Utopia Low quality
