Abstract
This procurement assessment provides a
basis whereby the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic (GOK)
can formulate a capacity-building plan to improve its
purchasing system; donors can devise strategies for
assisting the capacity development plan and mitigate risks
in individual operations that they decide to fund; and the
country can monitor system performance and the success of
reform initiatives in improving outcomes. It incorporates
results from analyses of procurement legislation and
feedback from various stakeholders in the procurement
system, including government agencies, procuring entities,
consultants, contractors, suppliers, and representatives of
civil society. The Public Procurement Law (PPL) of the
Kyrgyz Republic took effect on May 24, 2004. The PPL
provides for a decentralized procurement system. All users
of central and local budgetary funds are now responsible for
conducting procurement in accordance with the standards of
the new law. Since the December 2002 Country Procurement
Assessment Report (CPAR), several significant developments
have occurred in the public procurement system of the Kyrgyz
Republic. In the new PPL, the government implemented the
majority of the Bank's recommendations. Although the
PPL clearly assigns the procurement oversight and support
roles to the State Agency on Public Procurement and
Materials Reserve (SAPPMR), the agency is unable to fulfill
these roles efficiently and objectively. It lacks adequate
capacity. The SAPPMR must review and verify the information
contained in tender and contract award notices to ensure
that the information is accurate and in compliance with the
PPL. The SAPPMR provides little guidance to procuring
entities to ensure effective PPL implementation.
