Motivation<\/h2>\n

More than a quarter of public procurement in Romania is suspected of corruption or fraud, according to a report by the National Agency for Public Procurement. What is the cost of corruption? Statistics say that between 5.4 and 12 billion Euros - public funds wasted in public tenders<\/strong> where goods and services are bought and overpriced, often from companies enrolled in government contracts.<\/p>\n

The Covid-19 crisis has only highlighted these vulnerabilities deeply rooted in the Romanian system. Moreover, swift legislative measures to combat the pandemic have further encouraged borderline or illegal practices. Many authorities abused their ability to conclude direct contracts, even if they had nothing to do with preventing and combating the spread of the new coronavirus. The effects were seen in official reports, but also in the investigations of journalists who showed how the contracting authorities hurried to do a kind of \"express shopping\" for goods whose value to the public is questionable.<\/p>\n

Many of these problems can be tackled by applying open contracting principles and standards, a concept to which more than 50 countries and cities around the world have already adhered.<\/p>\n

Goals<\/h2>\n

The open contracting<\/strong> concept is is a set of rules and practices aimed at greater transparency and participation in all stages of the public procurement process. The aim of this project is to reduce corruption in public procurement by introducing this concept to the public and decision makers.<\/p>\n
