  2. Why is monitoring public procurement an issue? • In Slovakia € 3,9 billion was spent in public procurement in 2012 (15 % of total government expenditure) • According to a survey, Slovak businesses believe on average 13 % of the value of a tender goes to bribes. • € 500 million could be saved annually, the equivalent of • 16 new hospitals • 51 km of new highways • 21 % pay raise for all young teachers

Analysis of trends in procurement & investigation of individual tenders: Closer attention should be paid to public procurement in Slovak health care FINDINGS: • More than half of all tenders in healthcare receive just a single a bid • 35 million EUR (14% of annual procurement expenditure in health care) could be saved if number of bids in single-bid tenders increased to two IMPACT: • 40 media citations, most cited analysis by Slovak commentators • 2 months later Ministry of Health strengthened oversight over state hospitals

  16. Analysis of trends in procurement & investigation of individual tenders: Mandatory e-auctions save public money FINDINGS: • Rising number of bids in tenders is associated with increasing savings • Savings are more significant when e-auctions are used IMPACT: • Widely cited by media • Promotion of mandatory e-auction in political parties’ programs

  19. Way forward Monitoring procurement leads to savings. What is next? • Closer involvement of all stakeholders (government, journalists, public) • New features: • Collecting information on calls for tenders • Introducing notifications • Opening further data, e.g. Open Contracts (in Slovakia all public contracts, invoices and orders have to be published online before they enter into force).
