Proposal for Optimal governance model of Central Procurement in Slovakia

Abstract

When the government or a municipality wants to establish a central procurement body (CPB), it must consider several aspects and issues. These factors will significantly influence how CPB performs its duties and stakeholders perceive its success. This case study will present different models of a central purchasing body’s organizational and operational structure; then, the steps that the newly created CPB at the Prime minister’s office in Slovakia should consider to achieve the positive effect of central procurement. Finally, an optimal solution and governance model are proposed to overcome fragmentation and promote cooperation among the CPBs in Slovakia.
