The Malta Chamber launches a report on the reform needed in Public Procurement. The document contains 36 recommendations on the entire procurement process.
In continuing its call for good governance, The Malta Chamber launched a document titled The Public Procurement Reform Report.
The key recommendations presented in the document relate to the Blacklisting of operators, the implementation and management of Direct Orders and the Performance of Public Contracts post-award.
The Malta Chamber said that the document is the fruitful work of a working group that was formed by individuals representing economic operators.
The Chamber suggests that operators who are in breach of the law, have to be sanctioned and should not be allowed to participate in public procurement or allowed to enter into public contracts.
The recommendations state that direct orders should be substantiated and justified in accordance with the law.
The Malta Chamber said that monitoring of the performance of public contracts should be in place.
The Working Group was composed of Liz Barbaro Sant, Anton Borg, Marcel K. Mifsud, Maronna Filletti, Mary Gaerty, Roderick Abela and Julia Aquilina. Dr Clement Mifsud Bonnici (Ganado Advocates) was technical advisor on the process.
The Malta Chamber said that is adamant and committed to engage in open dialogue with all stakeholders on this Report and to advocate for the adoption of the recommendations it contains.
