The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development in co-operation with the project team from the Public Procurement Office publishes a document entitled Strengthening value for money in the public procurement system of the Slovak Republic. Its main goal is to analyze the situation of application of measures for the evaluation of bids in the Slovak republic. "In line with the EU public procurement directives, the Public procurement Act of the Slovak Republic encourages the broader use of criteria to include qualitative, environmental or social dimensions. However, data provided by the Public Procurement Office (PPO) shows that, between 2016 and 2020, the use of MEAT criteria in public procurement procedures was relatively limited, representing 15.6% of public procurement procedures and 13.8% of the total procurement volume, ”states the OECD at the beginning of the document. The document contains, among other things, information on the use of MEAT criteria in specific sectors, namely health and transport, as well as a comparison of situations of application of these criteria in other countries.

In order to bring the best possible outputs, this document has also been moved to an international forum entitled "Leading Practitioners on Public Procurement" (LPP), in which leading public procurement experts express their views and recommendations on the directions and steps taken by member states. OECD countries in the field.

The document Strengthening value for money in the public procurement system of the Slovak Republic is possible to find on the OECD project website or on our website in the section Project outputs.
