The new legislation overhauls the current public procurement rules and transposes relevant EU directives which are proved to save taxpayers’ money and guarantee boosting of a fair competition. The EU compliant procurement system is a very effective anti-corruption measure that would ensure efficiency of public spending and, ultimately, a better quality of public services. Adoption of the new acquis compliant law would make the public procurement system in BiH more efficient and more strategic, respecting the principles of transparency and competition to the benefit of both public purchasers and economic operators.
Transparent public procurement is one of the most important areas in the overall European integration process. It is even more than a foundation of the EU Single Market. It is also a foundation of the system of integrity and responsibility, necessary for consolidating the rule of law and the functioning of democracy.
