The People Deputies have produced 14 such Legislative initiatives, among them those related to Information Protection, Tender Bids, Clarification of Administrators of Public Funds, Supervision of the Distribution of Public Funds, Public Procurements, The Procurement System, Contract Registers, and also to improved organization in the preparation of and participation in Sporting Events of the National Teams, and Procurement Procedures in the areas of Construction and Utilities, etcetera.
The Draft on Amendments to the Law ‘On Public Procurement of Goods, Works and Services´ (appertaining to Tender Bids) (Reg. No.1011-1) proposes to improve the existing procedure for Public Procurement. The number of Tender Bids required to effect Procurement is reduced from three to two. The list of Procurement subjects, to which this Law does not apply, is extended to resolve the problem of procurement of specific Goods, Works and Services. The functions of the authorized body for Public Procurements will be vested in The Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, instead of The Anti-monopoly Committee of Ukraine, as suggested in the Draft.
Another Draft ( Reg. No. 1011-6) aims to improve provisions on the system of bodies responsible for State supervision, monitoring and coordination of Public Procurements, appertaining to effecting competitive Procurement Procedures together with The Procedure of Dispute (Appeal) Settlement in The Public Procurement Court.
This Draft envisages that the functions of coordinating Goods, Works and Services Procurement 'are vested in a wide system of Public Authorities, including The Ministry of Economy of Ukraine'. The Inter-departmental Committee on Public Procurement must be dissolved, with the subsequent transfer of its functions to other bodies. The Inter-departmental mechanism used in procurements is cancelled, and in its place is introduced a mechanism of Prepayment under Procurement Contracts.
