ArmInfo. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development will assist Armenia in introducing an electronic procurement system.
As the press service of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Armenia reports, on March 5, with the participation of EBRD representatives, discussions were held on the new e-procurement system, which is expected to be ready in 2021. The idea of introducing a new e-procurement system is in line with the activities of the Government of the Republic of Armenia and the strategic program of actions for reforming the system public finance management in 2019-2023. As part of this process, a preliminary agreement was reached with the EBRD on the implementation of the system with the support of the Bank.
In this regard, discussions were held with the participation of the Bank's consultants, during which the consultants presented the business model of the system, as well as the conditions associated with the functional and technical structures. Following the meeting, the consultants agreed to provide additional justification for the proposed business model. The new system will expand the circle of beneficiaries, as well as information collected using an open data management model. Under the new system, an automatic analysis and monitoring of the procurement process will be provided.
The purpose of the changes is to create a more modern e-procurement system in the region that would meet the needs of Armenia.
