TIRANA, August 26 /ATA/ Minister of Economy, Culture and Innovation Blendi Gonxhja stated that the Centralized Purchasing Operator (CPO) has managed to save 26.5 million euros from the state budget in 16 months.
Minister Gonxhja said that this was, “Thanks to transparent procurement, efficient management and record speed in every procedure”.
According to Gonxhja, this figure for citizens renders into more modern schools for children; more hospitals and medical centers with new equipment; more investments in roads, infrastructure and public services and more funds for education, health and social development.
“This result shows that the CPO is setting new standards in the management of public money, protecting the interests of citizens and directly contributing to improving the quality of life”, said Gonxhja, while appreciating this figure as a victory for the economy and an investment for the future.
CPO for the first time publishes in real time and notifies economic operators that register in the system, for every competition and tender announced through a free online platform.
CPO also publishes in record time online the ALBZONE Digital Catalog for contracting authorities, where the order is carried out in real time, between unified and certified terms and prices. /e.i/j.p/p.s./
