prokurimi

Prokurimi is the process of acquiring goods, services, and works by individuals or organizations. It includes planning, procurement planning, specification, market analysis, bidding, contracting, and contract management. It serves both private and public sectors. The main aims are to secure required inputs at the best value for money, ensure timely delivery, and promote fair competition, transparency, and accountability.

In public procurement, rules and procedures govern how contracts are advertised, how bids are evaluated, and how awards are made. Procurement activities typically proceed through stages: need identification and budget planning; preparation of procurement documents with technical specifications and evaluation criteria; solicitation of bids or proposals; bid submission and evaluation; contract award; signature and implementation; and contract administration and performance review.

Methods of procurement vary. They can include open procedures that invite any qualified bidder, restricted or two-stage procedures used to encourage competition among capable bidders, and, in particular cases, direct contracting or framework agreements. Increasingly, organizations use e-procurement systems to publish opportunities, receive bids, and process payments electronically.

Good procurement practice emphasizes transparency, competition, accountability, and fairness, with mechanisms to manage conflicts of interest and prevent corruption. Risks include inadequate specification, insufficient market analysis, lengthy procurement cycles, and weak contract management. Effective prokurimi can improve service delivery, stimulate markets, and enhance fiscal responsibility.
