Dominican Republic: CLDP Leads Judicial Procurement Training

On September 4, in Santo Domingo, CLDP, in coordination with the Dominican General Directorate for Public Contracting and the National School of the Judiciary, led a workshop on contract administration and disputes arising from the implementation of government contracts for approximately 40 judges and support staff of the Superior Administrative Court and the Supreme Court of the Dominican Republic. CLDP procurement experts from the Contract Law Division of the Department of Commerce and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs gave an overview of best practices in contract administration before moving into in-depth discussions of contract modifications, performance delays, and contract disputes. They concluded the workshop by engaging the participants in an interactive case study based on an actual example from the Dominican Republic. This workshop was part of CLDP’s ongoing engagement with the Dominican judiciary, following an initial workshop in May and the chief judge of the Superior Administrative Tribunal’s visit to Washington in June. This engagement contributes to CLDP’s goal of improving the fairness and efficiency of the government procurement system in the Dominican Republic and coincides with the U.S. Embassy in the Dominican Republic’s increased emphasis on transparency initiatives.
