Bishkek City Hall to Scrap Tenders
Bishkek City Hall to Abandon Tender System for Procurement of Goods and Services
In a meeting with residents of Sverdlovsky district, Mayor Emilbek Abdykadyrov announced that the Bishkek City Hall is planning to abandon the tender system for the purchase of goods and services. This move aims to place personal responsibility on the officials of the City Hall.
According to Abdykadyrov, the current tender system often leads to delays and a lack of accountability. “One person wins the tender, then he transfers the work to another, and as a result, no one does it on time. The President set a task for us and the Cabinet. We need to abandon tenders because this is a collective irresponsibility. Changes are being made to the laws,” the mayor explained.
Abdykadyrov further highlighted that conducting tenders takes approximately two months, affecting the timely completion of projects. He also mentioned that the City Hall successfully built 15 schools and one kindergarten in a short period of time without relying on tenders last year.
The decision to abandon the tender system reflects the administration’s commitment to streamline the procurement process and prioritize accountability. It also aligns with the government’s efforts to improve efficiency and transparency in public administration.
Moving forward, the City Hall will explore alternative methods for procuring goods and services that can ensure timely delivery and maintain accountability. By implementing changes to the existing laws, the administration aims to address the issues associated with the current tender system and create a more effective framework for project implementation.
This new approach signifies Bishkek City Hall’s determination to optimize resource allocation and enhance public service delivery. With a focus on personal responsibility, the administration anticipates improved efficiency and greater public trust in the procurement process.
