The Action Plan for Implementation of the Public Procurement Programme (2019-2013), within the measure of “Strengthening the Institutional Framework”, envisages the activity of conducting preparatory training for public procurement officer examination.
With this regard, during November and December 2022, the Public Procurement Office supported by the US Agency for International Development and the Project for Improvement of Public Procurement, held two preparatory training sessions for this examination and they were attended by 193 participants.
The aim of the training was to enhance the knowledge and understanding of public procurement of the public procurement professionals with both contracting authorities and bidders, as well as to support the preparation for the public procurement officer examination held by the Office.
The trainings included an overview of the legal and institutional framework in the field of public procurement, the role of institutions responsible for regulating, monitoring and supervising public procurement, setting deadlines, criteria for quality selection of economic operator and contract award and other important topics in the field of public procurement.
