Remedy procedures in public procurement regulation
• Remedy procedures in public procurement - These are legal measures, which can be used to rectify defects or law infringements in the public procurement process
• Remedies vs. Compensation approachRemedies rectify irregularities in a procurement process in progress, while damages might be usually paid to an aggrieved tenderer once the tender process has finished
• Main advantage of the remedy procedures Enable a procurement process to continue, whilst simultaneously addressing the disputed points

Basic features of the modern public procurement remedies function
• right of the tenderer to seek a review• right of the tenderer to seek remedial action as
opposed to monetary compensation• a dedicated remedies system• an independent body, authorised to sanction remedial
action• access to judicial review• where remedies procedures are not feasible, the right
of the tenderer to seek compensation

EU Countries in the EBRD region:Summary of Results
• EU Countries are leaders in the EBRD region, however did not achieve very high compliance yet
• Higher compliance in the northern & central countries much lower compliance in the southern countries
• Remedies are slow – increase in speed is required everywhere in the EBRD region
• Remedies fees policy has to be reviewed in order to facilitate wider access to the system
• Insufficient market awareness of the remedies bodies

Balkan Countries and Turkey: Summary of Results
• Turkey is a sub-regional leader• Remedies systems are adequate and not too complex,
but generally with limited market awareness• Dedicated remedies bodies established in most
countries• Insufficient independency of the remedies body in the
region• Implementation problems have been identified in
Montenegro and Albania• Still low marks for resistance to corruption in some
countries

Eastern European Countries, includingGeorgia and Russia: Summary of Results
• No evident regional leader• Lowest average compliance score as compared to
the other country groupings in the EBRD region• Insufficient independency of the remedies body in this
region• Evident problems with speed and integrity of
remedies bodies • High cost restricts access to the remedies system

27
Central Asian Republics, the Caucasus and Mongolia Summary of Results
• No distinct regional leader• Absence of a dedicated public procurement remedies
system • Review is provided by general administration or
courts• Insufficient independency of the remedies body in this
region, if in place• Cost and complexity undermine the efficiency of the
remedies system in Uzbekistan
![Page 24: Spyros Panagopoulos](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56816850550346895dde55dd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
28
General trends in the EBRD Region
• Introduction of dedicated public procurement remedies procedures across the region
• First independent remedies bodies in place• Progressive adoption of administrative review
means
• Time and cost undermine efficiency of the remedies systems
• Complexity still present in various links of the remedies chain
• Further efforts required in order to raise efficiency, consistency and predictability
