The Kosovo Democratic Institute (KDI) has published a communiqué for media suggesting that a company that was introduced on the Black List of Economic Operators has won contracts worth $350,000.

But KDI reports that the company "Interlab St. P. K”, contracted before the blacklist deadline was completed, on January 13th, 2022 and less than us for $350,000 respectively.

Full announcement:

What?

On the decision of the Procuring Organization (OSHP) on February 1, 2021, huh?? It's on the Black List of Economic Operators. Procuring rules determine that companies who enter the blacklist have no right to offer or win contracts for a period of up to a year.

Anyway, this company, just days before it was a year ago, on January 13th, 2022 has won a contract worth about?

According to the Public Procurement Law, if a company during the tender process makes any forged documentation or presents any false statements, it could be introduced to the Black List for a maximum period of 12 months.

The decision is made by O deeds, following demand from the contracting authority.

In the case of Interlab S. P. K, the demand for blacklisted was made by SHSKUK, and the same was approved by O The E.P. During the disqualified period, the Interlab company has had no right to offer and win contracts in procurement activities.

During 2020, Kosovo's Assembly -- Skopje -- Kosovo has approved several international loans with the International Development Association (IDA), which is part of the World Bank. Under the deal, procurement of certain medical products has been passed to the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS).

To manage with procurement services under this agreement, Kosovo will pay U n NOPS a budget of about one million euros. However, under agreement UNOPS implements procurement procedures by implementing its procurement procedures and not the Public Procure Law. Despite buying money from Kosovo's budget.

♪ KDI It raises concerns that procurements that are realised through UNOPS should observe Kosovo's rules and laws, because if they are to incompatible, it could encourage irresponsible companies to try to contract.

KDI recommends that, as the implementation of the project “Emergency Project Covis-19 for Kosovo to work closely with UNOPS and to demand that the laws of the Republic of Kosovo, especially the Law on Public Procurement and provisions regulating the disqualification and adaptability of economic operators, be taken into account during purchases.
