Competition and Public Procurement in the Road Maintenance Sector in Moldova (EBRD)

In 2015, Lear provided technical assistance to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the Moldovan Competition Council (CCRM). Lear developed and delivered a training program for CCRM’s officials on market investigation and competitive assessment, with a specific focus on the competitive assessment of public procurement. Lear assisted CCRM officials in the delivery of a market study (including the identification of appropriate remedial actions to remove competitive restraints). The project also entailed the organization of ad-hoc advocacy initiatives/workshops aimed at disseminating the results of the market assessment as well as strengthening the advocacy function of the CCRM.
