The purpose of creation of the new public procurement law is to simplify procedure and decrease costs for tenderers, in line with European Directives, in addition to a faster, more effective and transparent public sector functioning.

The working version of the BIH Public Procurement Law, presented to the meeting today, will be provided to all responsible bodies and institutions for further consideration and refinement, and subsequently sent to regular parliamentarian procedure.
