Perspectives for Open Contracting in Kosovo Driart Elshani
Kosovo context Public Procurement Based on EU laws Limited transparency Notifications only as reports Open Data for public contracts not available as datasets
Public Procurement bodies in Kosovo Public Procurement Regulatory Commission (PPRC) Procurement Review Body (PRB) Central Procurement Agency (CPA) But procurement still done by each institution Some form of centralization is discussed Electronic procurement only in initial phase
Monitoring Public Procurement We monitor public contracts, calls and notifications that are published in the PPRC website, but manual processing is difficult Virtually all institutions must publish their calls thru PPRC But only as reports, with very limited information I.e. No systemic Open Data approach for public contracts
Public Contracts Notifications (cont.) Calls for public contracts Notifications of awarded contracts Calls for expression of interests Results -> links to download the calls Limited amount of information available
Open Data portal for Public Procurement Very limited data available Some municipalities are publishing annual reports for procurement No adherence to Open Data nor Open Contracting standards Superficial information for public contracts No real datasets regarding public procurement Implementations fairly limited to visualizations Missing core data
Conclusions & Recommendations Limited information for public contracts No initiatives for Open Contracting Lack of adherence to Open Contracting standards Lack of implementations for Open Data regarding public procurement Even e-Procurement only in initial phase Transparency gaps Need for advocacy and awareness in Open Contracting
Conclusions & Recommendations (cont.) Civil society advocacy and lobbying very much needed for Open Contracting Joint workshops Regional examples Change management Public Civil Partnerships
