The Open Data platform for Public Procurement creates a passport<\/a> for each tender, based on the Open Contracting<\/a> standard, along with detecting procedures exposed to risk of corruption. Around 40% of tenders processed by the algorithm have been identified as risky and marked with a RedFlag<\/a>. The platform was created in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last 12 months, SPAK (Special Prosecution Office) has investigated 8 mayors and numerous public officials for the criminal offense of \u201cinequality in tenders\u201d. Notably, all these investigations align with the procurement procedures marked with RedFlag, which have been previously published in Mass Media investigations<\/a>. The opposition has exposed corrupt tenders, identified by the AIS organization\u2019s platform in Parliament. However, during 2024, the Platform for Transparent Procurement faced difficulties<\/a> in securing funding to continue its operations as a high-tech tool for identifying potential corruption cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
