Abstract
The document provides a brief overview of the size and composition of public procurement. It then examines performance in relation to two key outcome variables – the success rate of competitive tenders, and the level of competition in open procedures. The nature of the performance issues in these two areas are explored, and specific recommendations are developed for improving performance in the short to medium term. A different perspective on performance is then provided through examining the degree to which small and medium firms participate in procurement tenders and are awarded contracts. A final section provides a limited number of recommendations on steps to establish a continuous process of data analysis and performance evaluation.

Summary
Over the course of the last decade, Georgia has made remarkable progress in establishing a strong public procurement system. Guided by specific concerns identified by officials from the Government of Georgia, the analysis examined a limited number of performance variables relating to the efficiency of the procurement process, and the value for money obtained through the procurement process.[3]. The study findings and recommendations identity a number of issues which present opportunities for improving outcomes in the short to medium term. The study approach, of using transaction level data to examine intermediate and final outcomes of the procurement system, may serve to catalyze similar work in the future, and enable a rigorous and well-informed policy dialogue on how well the Georgia public procurement system meets the needs of the country and its people. A final section provides a limited number of recommendations on steps to establish a continuous process of data analysis and performance evaluation
