The Impact of Public Procurement during the COVID-19 Pandemic

This book combines extensive research with practical experience in the field of public procurement. It examines the challenges of implementing legislation and meeting the growing demand for transparency, efficiency, and accountability in public administration.Through a clear and comprehensive analysis, the author highlights recent reforms in the legal framework and explains the functioning of the electronic e-Procurement system, a key instrument for modernizing procurement processes. Grounded in the belief that public procurement is not merely an administrative or financial procedure, this book presents it as a vital tool for good governance, economic growth, and social justice."Transparency is a prerequisite for accountability and good governance." - OECD, 2016This quote sums up the message of this book: without transparency and a strong legal framework, public procurement risks becoming a breeding ground for abuse. Whereas, when managed with integrity, it can become an engine of development and a guarantee for a fairer society.
