Description

Adopting a new Unified Procurement By-Law (final stages for approval) based on three central departments as mentioned above, with a recommendation from the specialized technical committee formed at the Governmental Tender Directorate to establish a procurement policies unit at the Prime Ministry, in addition to a procurement complaints unit. In addition, a new system that transforms the present procedures into automated tendering system will be developed. This will regulate the procedures, processes, and control the procurement expenditures, and will increase the accountability and transparency, and enhance performance.
