Serbian Public Procurement System Action Plan (EBRD)

Lear’s economists provided technical assistance to the Serbian Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government under EBRD’s Programme for Enhancing Public Procurement Practices in Serbia. Lear’s experts conducted a review of the entire public procurement system in Serbia, from the legal and regulatory framework to the institutional system and management capacity. Lear also conducted a benchmarking exercise against international standards and against other countries of the Western Balkans region and of the European Union. Based on the findings of these activities, Lear prepared an implementable Action Plan, which identified a set of specific objectives and activities to enhance Serbian public procurement system, including performance indicators, risk management strategies and potential responsible institutions.
