The publication “Making Public Procurement Transparent in BiH” is based on the operational project of OSF BiH, aimed at improving the transparency of public procurement in Bosnia and Herzegovina through documenting and analyzing violations of the Public Procurement Law (PPL). The project focuses on two key areas: monitoring the preparation, tendering, and contracting processes, and monitoring the implementation of public procurement contracts. Using specialized analytical tools, the project enables early detection of irregularities and abuses, resulting in the creation of a database with specific cases and recommendations for improving procurement processes.

Within the project, the monitoring and analysis of public procurement procedures (ex ante control) are carried out in real-time, with the aim of providing timely information to the public through social media and other communication channels. The publication includes reports on findings from the 2017-2021 period, including a special final report – “The Black Book of Public Procurement”, which summarizes the project’s results and offers concrete guidelines for all interested parties: international organizations and institutions working on reforms, those who wish to prosecute procurement violations, and those seeking to learn how to conduct transparent and efficient public procurement.

The aim of this publication is to provide the public with relevant data on the real state of public procurement in BiH, identify patterns of irregularities, and offer educational materials to improve public procurement in line with the principles of transparency, equality, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

Da javne nabavke postanu javne u BiH

Publikacija „Da javne nabavke postanu javne“ temelji se na operativnom projektu FOD BiH, čiji je cilj unaprijediti transparentnost javnih nabavki u Bosni i Hercegovini kroz dokumentovanje i analizu kršenja Zakona o javnim nabavkama (ZJN). Projekt se fokusira na dva ključna aspekta: monitoring pripreme, raspisivanja tendera i ugovaranja, te monitoring implementacije ugovora o javnim nabavkama. Korištenjem specijaliziranih alata za analizu, projekat omogućava rano otkrivanje nepravilnosti i zloupotreba, što rezultira kreiranjem baze podataka sa konkretnim slučajevima i preporukama za unapređenje postupaka nabavki.

U okviru projekta, praćenje i analiza postupaka javnih nabavki (ex ante kontrola) provode se u realnom vremenu, s ciljem pružanja pravovremenih informacija javnosti putem društvenih mreža i drugih komunikacijskih kanala. Publikacija obuhvata izvještaje o nalazima iz perioda 2017-2021. godine, uključujući posebni finalni izvještaj – „Crna knjiga javnih nabavki“, koji sumira rezultate projekta i pruža konkretne smjernice za sve zainteresovane strane: od međunarodnih organizacija i institucija koje rade na reformama, do onih koji žele da procesuiraju nezakonitosti, te onih koji žele učiti kako provoditi transparentne i efikasne javne nabavke.

Cilj ove publikacije je da se široj javnosti pruže relevantni podaci o stvarnom stanju javnih nabavki u BiH, identifikuju obrasci nepravilnosti, i ponude edukativni materijali za unapređenje javnih nabavki, u skladu s principima transparentnosti, ravnopravnosti, efikasnosti i ekonomičnosti.
