This year, the Public Procurement Agency implemented the e-procurement system for all small purchases of public procurement, below the threshold of 3000 Euros. The e-procurement system enables the submission of offers and their evaluation in an electronic way. This e-procurement platform is a web-based application that enables secure transactions between Albanian public institutions and national and international business. This system provides a secure and transparent administration for the preparation of all tender documents, thus avoiding unnecessary paperwork and providing data about the entire process. In 2009 Albania was the first country in the world that carried out a mandatory electronic procurement system for all public sector procurements above the threshold of 3000 Euros. For implementing this project, Albania received the second prize of the 2010 UN Public Service Award for excellence in public service. In accordance with the statistics, pointed out for the year of 2011, the costs for the performance of public procurement procedures are down 20%. The number of economic operators participating in tenders is up from 2 to 6 on average.

22. Restructuring the Transparency Portal

Controladoria-Geral da União

Continued work on basic implementation

Facilitação do acesso a bases de dados específicas no Portal da Transparência: disponibilização de consultas específicas sobre informações relativas a beneficiários do “Seguro Defeso”, beneficiários do “Seguro-Desemprego” e a dados dos “Cartões de Pagamento da Defesa Civil”. A exemplo do que já é feito com o programa Bolsa Família e com os gastos dos Cartões de Pagamento do Governo Federal, as medidas permitirão especializar e facilitar o acesso, por qualquer cidadão, a informações sobre a execução orçamentária federal, a transparência e o controle dos gastos governamentais, além de permitir o melhor acompanhamento dos investimentos nas ações da Defesa Civil para a resposta a desastres naturais e catástrofes ambientais.

Registro de Preços Nacional da Educação: O Registro de Preços Nacional (RPN) é um modelo de compras centralizadas, planejado para atender a todos os Estados e municípios. Com o RPN, torna-se possível a realização de um único procedimento licitatório, centralizado no Fundo Nacional de Desenvolvimento da Educação (FNDE), no qual ficam registrados os preços de alguns bens a serem adquiridos para a atividade educacional, gerando economia nas compras e diminuição do tempo dos processos de licitação para aquisição de bens escolares. O governo brasileiro compromete-se a aumentar o número de bens com atas de registro de preço, atualmente em 11 itens.
