North Macedonia public procurement law reform

Overview

Business leaders in North Macedonia, led by the Chamber of Commerce, have advocated for reforms to the Public Procurement Law. The Chamber’s proposals emphasized prioritizing quality over the lowest price, granting domestic companies preference, and simplifying administrative procedures through digitalization to combat corruption.

Following these discussions, proposed amendments to the law passed the Assembly’s Finance and Budget Commission. These changes focus on adjusting value thresholds for goods, services, and works to reduce administrative burdens for low-value procurements. The amendments also include mandates for the Public Procurement Bureau to develop digital tools, including AI-based services, for automated monitoring and risk detection.
