“Last fall the legislation was amended so auction paperwork is checked up before being published in the public procurement electronic system. The measure has been highly disputed (…) The auction file rejection rate initially stood at 80% and has fallen to 50%,” ANRMAP president Cristina Traila said Friday at the conference Mediafax Talks About SMEs.

She added that the restrictive criteria that could favor certain companies in the contract awarding process have been eliminated following checkups.
