Summary/Abstract: The procurement performance translates in terms of effectively managing public fundsthrough the acquisition of products that meet customers’ requirements, are delivered on time,and under advantageous conditions.A systematic analysis of the legislative barriers and factors that influence procurement offersa clear image of the vulnerabilities associated with implementing the process. By applyingmodern risk assessment methods, an information package can be designed to support thedecision-making process of how to effectively allocate resources in order to achieve theperformance objectives established.This paper offers a practical solution for improving procurement performance by developinga common platform, at the Ministry level, where the results obtained by each contractingauthority are analysed objectively and transparently. The platform also offers support inplanning an acquisition, serving as aid to all contracting authorities that engage in suchactivities.
