Expert-Grup announces a report assessing and monitoring public procurement in Education

Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.

The Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup” has announced that it will prepare a Report assessing and monitoring public procurement in Education. The report will draw on earlier research and on findings of the Court of Accounts, which show that significant public funds are lost through public procurement.

According to the announcement, earlier research and the Court of Accounts' findings indicate that large sums of public money are lost through procurement. Besides the low competence of the officials involved in procurement, the main cause is corruption.

The report will offer conclusions and recommendations based on an analysis of the results of past procurement and on monitoring of the procurement process currently under way. It is meant to support anti-corruption measures and help improve procurement policies in the education sector. Education was chosen because of its social importance, and because other sectors, such as Health and Roads, will be covered by a broader project implemented by international institutions.
