On July 18-20, CLDP, in collaboration with Moldova’s Public Procurement Agency, will hold a three-day workshop for Moldovan procurement officials from the national and sub-national levels on best practices in procurement of foodstuffs and travel. The workshop will focus on key considerations in the procurement in these two specific sectors, while more generally addressing the benefits of procurement through framework agreements. The goal of this workshop is to identify areas where framework agreements might allow for more efficient purchasing in Moldova, and to recommend steps to begin the utilization of framework agreements for food and travel purchasing where appropriate. Officials will hear expert input from Moldovan experts as well as procurement experts from the U.S. General Services Administration, New Hampshire State Government, the Romanian National Agency for Public Procurement, and from the private sector legal community.
