A few months before local elections, VVC Prizren opens tender for 47 advisers

The Prizren municipality has opened tenders for employing 47 persons of different profiles with service contracts. This municipality for employing these people has used the term "consulent" for each requested position.

The term consultant or consultant also uses it for positions that are highly technical and that have to do with accessing electronic data systems. The Law for Public Officials and a special regulation of the Public Procurement Commission (KRPP) has enabled institutions to engage in service contracts, field experts, through tenders.

But, the CRPP has provided clarification that employment through tenders can only be made for profiles that the current staff of institutions do not meet.

“consulent/ The individual contractor, it's a speciality for a specific area engaged by the Accounting Authority (AK) in the role of a consultant”, the KCPP's instruction to institutions says.

But, in the Special Services Procurement Act as well as the Law for Public Officials, it is said that in such a procedure it could be used to hire people with no institutions.

Under this regulation, individual consultancy services can offer physical individuals who cannot be required to have registered business, but the physical person must register on the electronic procurement platform as an economic operator. Also, the Public Procuration Regulatory Commission through a document it issued early in February provides remarks to institutions that are exploiting this form of employment of workers of various profiles.

The KCPP has also again provided clarification to the category of workers who can be employed with such a procedure. KCPP has underlined Article 3 of the Public Procurement of Special Services, which says that in this form institutions should employ a certain field specialist.

The last “has become a phenomenon for using the procurement procedure for special services (Consulent/ individual contractors) for a large number of different profiles for employee employment. This is contrary to Article 3 of the Special Services Procurement Rules, which says: These rules apply only to the procurement of Special Services, which can be provided through recruiting procedures under the Law for Public Officials.

Special services that cannot be provided through recruiting procedures are professional services the AK needs but does not meet demand with its staff. Consultant/ The individual contractor is a specialist for a specific area engaged by the AK in the role of a consultant”, the KCPP document says. Even in the tender file opened by the Prizren municipality, it is said that this tender has been opened because the municipality does not meet the requirements with the existing staff.

“Special services which cannot be provided through recruiting procedures are professional services for which the Prizren municipality needs but does not meet the requirements with existing staff”, said the Prizren municipality tender file. According to the contract announcement, this municipality has planned to spend 480 thousand and 957 euros in two years.
