Republic of Albania : Final Country Procurement Assessment Report, Volume 2The World Bank undertakes assessments of
 the procurement environment, covering both public and
 private sectors, in borrowing member countries on a
 systematic basis. The objective of this assessment is to
 provide useful feedback to Borrowers regarding the strengths
 and weaknesses of their public procurement systems. This
 enables member countries of the Bank to improve the
 transparency of their procurement processes and to develop
 an Action Plan to enhance their capacity to conduct public
 procurement efficiently. A further important objective is to
 determine the compatibility of national procurement
 practices with the principles of economy and efficiency and
 with international procurement law and best practice. The
 findings and recommendations of this report not only help
 the Bank to ensure that sound procurement practices are
 followed in projects which the Bank finances, but also
 enable Borrowers to enhance the efficiency of their public
 spending. The report makes these key recommendations:
 Strengthen the position of Open Tendering as the basic
 method of public procurement by bolstering the provisions in
 the LPP against breaking down procurement requirements into
 smaller values, providing fewer exceptions to the OT method
 and making all applications of procurement methods other
 than OT, above specified financial thresholds, subject to
 prior waiver of the Public Procurement Agency (PPA). .
 Clarify the conditions for use of restrictive procurement
 methods, including Restricted Tendering and Request for
 Quotations and strengthen the requirements for the minimum
 number of bids which procuring entities must obtain.
 Increase the use of the Request for Proposals (RFP) method
 for the procurement of consultants' services by
 removing the threshold that currently applies to it. More
 effectively control the current over-use of the Direct
 Procurement method by tightening the conditions for its use
 in the Law on Public Procurement (LPP) and by making all
 uses of this method subject to prior waiver by the PPA.

Ceara PforR : Full Fiduciary Systems AssessmentThis assessment refers to the fiduciary arrangements governing the program-for-results (PforR) program. The fiduciary assessment found that the procurement and financial management arrangements are in line with OP 9.00 and that the capacity and performance of the implementing agencies are adequate for the purposes of the program. For procurement, the federal framework of laws and regulations is solid and transparent, and is familiar to both public officials and to the private sector. All procurement opportunities, regardless of estimated cost, are published via the internet. This involves establishing a local office or designating a local agent to serve as local representative and obtaining a taxpayer identification number or cadastro nacional de pessoas juridicas (CNPJ).

Moldova : Country Procurement Assessment Report (CPAR)Moldova is one of the poorest countries in Europe. It is landlocked, bounded by Ukraine on the east and Romania on the west. Like many other former Soviet Republics, Moldova has experienced economic difficulties. Since its economy was highly dependent on the rest of the Soviet Union for energy and raw materials, the breakdown in trade following the breakup of the Soviet Union had severe impacts, exacerbated by drought and civil conflict. Moldova has made progress in economic reform since independence. The Government liberalized most prices, phased out subsidies, and privatized housing, government enterprises, agricultural state land, and other state-owned assets. However, as of early 2010, Moldova's economy has been in recession. The main sources of growth in previous years, remittances, imports, and foreign investment, were undermined by the global crisis, resulting in weaker domestic and external demand, fiscal imbalances, limited financial intermediation, and an increase in the level of poverty.
