Previously viewed as a dominant administrative issue, public procurement has undergone a strong reform at the global level in recent years, gaining a completely new role as an important instrument of strategic policies. The 2014 reform of the EU public procurement rules gave public procurement the role of a means of achieving economic policy goals, in particular strengthening the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises in public procurement procedures; policies to deal with global climate change through environmental protection measures; social policies and the development of innovation; along with increasing efficiency, strengthening integrity and preventing corruption. The term strategic public procurement therefore briefly refers to the procurement of sustainable, innovative and socially responsible solutions (goods, services and works).

Through this document, it can be concluded that the harmonisation of BiH regulations with the provisions of the new EU Public Procurement Directives when it comes to the strategic functions of public procurement is ongoing, but that additional legislative interventions are needed, as well as even more promotion and consistency in the application of norms in practice. It is in this area that additional guidelines are being developed for EU member states, and these processes and recommendations should be monitored and promptly adopted.

Strateške javne nabavke

Prethodno posmatrane kao dominantno administrativno pitanje, javne nabavke su poslednjih godina doživjele snažnu reformu na globalnom nivou, dobijajući sasvim novu ulogu važnog instrumenta strateških politika. Reforma EU pravila o javnim nabavkama iz 2014. godine dala je javnim nabavkama ulogu sredstva ostvarenja ciljeva ekonomske politike, naročito jačanja učešća malih i srednjih preduzeća u postupcima javnih nabavki; politike suočavanja sa globalnim klimatskim promjenama kroz mjere zaštite životne sredine; socijalne politike i razvoja inovacija; uz porast efikasnosti, jačanje integriteta i prevenciju korupcije. Pod pojmom strateških javne nabavki stoga se u najkraćem podrazumijevaju nabavke održivih, inovativnih i društveno odgovornih rješenja (roba, usluga i radova).

Kroz ovaj dokument, može se zaključiti da je usklađivanje BiH propisa sa odredbama novih EU Direktiva o javnim nabavkama kada su u pitanju strateške funkcije javnih nabavki u toku, ali da su potrebni kako dodatni zahvati u legislativi, tako još više promocija i dosljednost primjene normi u praksi. Upravo na ovom području se razvijaju dodatne smjernice i za zemlje članice EU i te procese i preporuke treba pratiti i ažurno preuzimati.
