Concerns for tenders a source

To increase tenders a source, LDK deputy Avdullah Hoti has also reacted, who has shown two harmful aspects of public procurement.

He has said contracts cost the state more expensive and there is no competition and that favour can be made to certain companies.

When more single-source contracts are connected, then the state budget costs more dearly to the jobs or services that you provide, and competition is unfair. When there are fewer competitors for any open tender, then it means private companies do not believe contracts are granted according to legal criteria, according to lower prices and higher quality. Obviously, companies believe it is the connections and favors that determine who the tender is given.” ) He wrote Hoti.

We should not forget that the Ministry of Infrastructure, led by the minister, Libur Aliu, was also audited by the National Audition Office for 14 stem contracts.
