The study recommends that the Government, procurement policymakers, and procuring entities should adhere to the procurement laws and regulations set up by the PPRA which finally leads to the appreciation of the value of money within the institution. In conclusion, it was emphasized that prioritizing ethical conduct in procurement practices is vital and enhances compliance with procurement regulations and procedures

A Study on Tapentadol Misuse and Abuse among Heroin Users Attending a Deaddiction Center in Kashmir

Abstract Background: Tapentadol is a powerful opioid receptor agonist and a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, making it a centrally acting analgesic. In India, where the government is trying to combat an ongoing opioid crisis, the lack of scheduling of tapentadol creates an easy opportunity for its misuse. We aim to analyze the demographic and clinical characteristics of heroin users who also abuse tapentadol concurrently through our cross-sectional study done at the drug-deaddiction center situated at the community center of SMHS Hospital, Srinagar, Kashmir. Material and Methods: It was a cross-sectional study done at the Community Centre of SMHS hospital Srinagar, which houses the drug deaddiction centre run by the Psychiatry Department of GMC(Government Medical College) Srinagar. From 1st June 2023 until 30th November 2023, we gathered data for our investigation. After gaining informed consent, all the first-time heroin-dependent patients at the deaddiction facility who admitted to using tapentadol were included in the study. Patients’ age, sex, marital status, family composition, and level of education were analysed in accordance with a predefined proforma. In addition, the modified Kuppuswamy scale was used to categorise patients based on their socioeconomic status. Parameters such as the pattern of tapentadol use, the route of heroin use, and the comparison of the psychoactive effects of tapentadol and heroin were recorded using a proforma to create a clinical profile of such patients. Results: Our sample comprised 100 participants. The prevalence of tapentadol abuse among heroin users in our study came out to be 16%. The average age of our study participants was 25.11 ± 2.99 years. The vast majority of our patients were male (97%). The vast majority (58%) of our participants were from lower socioeconomic status. Ninety-eight percent of our subjects used oral tapentadol while there were 2 (2%) instances of intravenous tapentadol use. The majority of participants used the “Tapal” brand (60%). Tapentadol was mainly obtained either through a chemist’s shop (35%) (with or without a prescription) or through a friend (37%). Half of the subjects (50%) obtained tapentadol for the purpose of managing heroin withdrawal. Thirty-five percent of participants used tapentadol in a dependent manner, while the remaining 65% either misused or abused the drug. Conclusion: The continued heroin usage crisis, lenient tapentadol procurement regulations, and the use of nonevidence-based drugs for the treatment of opioid use disorder all contribute to the problem of tapentadol abuse in our region.

The Definition of ‘Covered Entities’ under the GPA: The General Scope and Escape Conditions

Abstract The WTO Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) does not legally define what entities should be covered by the Agreement. However, its member Parties list their ‘covered entities’ in a series of schedules. The list approach has complicated accession negotiations and discourages Parties from providing a ‘wider’ range of entity coverage. Moreover, the list approach raises some tensions and a lack of legal certainty, especially concerning those that are not strictly ‘government entities’, such as State-owned enterprises (SOEs). This problem is exacerbated in the case of modern SOEs in developing countries, many of which can bear both public and private features. Given these conditions, the author proposes a definition of ‘covered entities’ to facilitate accession negotiations and the future expansion of the GPA. The proposal is based on a comparative study of the GPA and the EU public procurement regulations. It develops a framework by which all publicly controlled entities are presumably covered by the GPA. Nevertheless, Parties can rebut GPA obligations by proving that an entity competes with other commercial entities under normal market conditions.

A Path towards SDGs: Investigation of the Challenges in Adopting 3D Concrete Printing in India

In recent years, three dimensional concrete printing (3DCP) has gained traction as a promising technology to mitigate the carbon footprint associated with construction industry. However, despite its environmental benefits, studies frequently overlook its impact on social sustainability and its overall influence on project success. This research investigates how strategic decisions by firms shape the tradeoffs between economic, environmental, and social sustainability in the context of 3DCP adoption. Through interviews with 20 Indian industry leaders, it was found that companies primarily invest in 3DCP for automation and skilled workforce development, rather than solely for environmental reasons. The lack of incentives for sustainable practices in government procurement regulations emerges as a significant barrier to the widespread adoption of 3DCP. Our study identifies five key strategies firms employ to promote sustainability through 3DCP and proposes actionable measures for government intervention to stimulate its advancement. Addressing these issues is crucial for realizing the full societal and environmental benefits of 3DCP technology.

Problems of ensuring the systematic legal regulation of the functioning of the innovative infrastructure

Problem setting. In the conditions of martial law, the problems of rebuilding the national innovative economy and legal regulation of the activities of innovative infrastructure entities are of primary importance for ensuring national security and adapting to new challenges. Effective legal regulation of the functioning of innovation infrastructure entities using a systemic approach is able to ensure the proper level of development and functioning of the national innovation ecosystem and all its subsystems, including regional ones. However, at present, the state innovation policy and regional innovation policy do not have an effective relationship and an effective mechanism for supporting the activities of innovation infrastructure entities. Analysis of recent researches and publications. Problems of legal support and improvement of the functioning of the national innovation infrastructure and its elements have been studied by many scientists. S. V. Hlibko considered the issue of legal support for the strategy of the innovation process based on the organization of the functioning of the innovation infrastructure, including the features of the infrastructure support for the innovation process. O. V. Rozghon investigated the mechanism of technology transfer and its implementation in the innovation process. The issues of legal regulation of public procurement as a means of state regulation aimed at stimulating innovative activity in the European Union were considered in the scientific works of V. A. Chubenko. Purpose of research is to study the topical legal issues of ensuring the systematic legal regulation of the functioning of innovation infrastructure. Article’s main body. The legal support of the national innovation ecosystem should have effective means of supporting and stimulating the implementation of innovative activities and the corresponding infrastructural support of the innovation process, taking into account modern challenges and generally defined strategic orientations of the state in this area, at the same time, the construction of an effective innovation policy should also take place according to the principle of adaptive formation, taking into account real the needs of regulatory regulation, the current state of innovation development, the need to ensure effective interaction between all subjects of the innovation infrastructure and components of the national innovation system. It has been correctly determined that various legislative and by-laws in the field of innovative infrastructure development are insufficiently consistent and meaningfully connected, for the vast majority of elements of innovative infrastructure, both the content and the order of creation, specifics of activity, mechanisms of state regulation, etc. have not been defined. Therefore, the regulatory and legal provision of innovative infrastructure should be of a sys-temic nature, taking into account the peculiarities of carrying out innovative activities in the conditions of martial law and the urgency of the processes of Ukraine’s integration into the European political, economic, security, and legal space and the approaching acquisition of Ukraine’s membership in the European Union. Thus, ensuring the systematic legal regulation of the activities of innovation infrastructure entities is a key task in creating a favorable environment for the development of innovations; to achieve this goal, it is necessary to implement complex approaches and develop appropriate legislative mechanisms. In addition, ensuring the system of legal regulation of innovative activity requires a comprehensive approach and improvement of current legislation, taking into account the requirements of the modern innovation market and the need to accelerate European integration processes. Conclusions and prospects for the development. Based on the analysis of issues regarding the state of regulatory regulation of the functioning of innovative infrastructure, it is reasonable to conclude that the main shortcomings in the regulation of the specified area are: unsystematic legal regulation of the development of innovative infrastructure; lack of a purposeful and consistent state innovation policy coordinated with regional directions of innovation development; lack of effective systematic forecasting and strategic planning of the development of the sphere of innovative activity; insufficient regulatory and legal settlement of issues of innovation infrastructure development (including the declarative nature of innovation legislation and its inconsistency with strategic planning documents); lack of effective mechanisms for state support and stimulation of innovative infrastructure, etc. The solution of the mentioned problems requires the improvement of the state innovation policy regarding the support and development of the innovation infrastructure, the formation of a complete system of forecast and program documents of the country’s innovation development based on a comprehensive analysis of the situation, taking into account the influence of external and internal factors and the expected trends of changes in the influence of these factors in the long term.

The impact of EU public procurement regulations on tenders in Spain: a study with adalimumab.

Pharmaceutical spending accounts for a significant portion of public healthcare budgets. To manage these costs, EU countries implement various cost-containment policies, including competitive tendering for pharmaceuticals. This study examines the impact of EU public procurement regulations on medication procurement practices. A search for all published tenders of adalimumab in Spain from 2018 to 2024 in the Spanish Public Sector Procurement Database, a period that coincides with the implementation of European legislation and the emergence of adalimumab biosimilars. All available documentation for each tender was reviewed, including the tender offer, technical specifications, specific administrative clauses, appointments of evaluation commissions, supporting memorandum, and evaluation reports. Our findings reveal substantial price reductions following the introduction of adalimumab biosimilars, yet highlight significant variability in tender criteria and practices across different regions. Despite adherence to EU directives, the inconsistent application of economic and non-economic factors and an erratic criteria concerning price undermine the intended balance of quality and cost, complicating procurement processes and potentially affecting the availability of a given treatment for patients.

Efficiency of Inventory in Thai Hospitals: Comparing Traditional and Vendor-Managed Inventory Systems

Background: Traditional procurement and price negotiation methods in public hospitals in Thailand involve group purchasing agreements and bulk orders, posing challenges to improving inventory management efficiency. The vendor-managed inventory (VMI) model is a promising alternative for enhancing hospital performance, especially during crises. This study aimed to assess the potential cost savings in implementing VMI in a large general hospital in Thailand. Methods: A simulation modeling approach was used to compare the current inventory system with three VMI models: VMI1, focused on improving inventory turnover rate (ITR); VMI2, emphasized frequent replenishment with a 1-month supply; and VMI3, eliminated safety stock. Results: The results demonstrated significant cost savings, with potential reductions in total inventory management expenses. Specifically, VMI1 improved ITR from 6.31 to 7.76, reducing average inventory by 36% and cutting management costs by 40%. VMI2, with an ITR of 12.80, reduced inventory by 44% and saved 47% in management costs, while VMI3 achieved a 70% reduction in inventory and a 69% saving in management costs. Conclusions: This study highlights the VMI’s transformative potential in hospital inventory management, demonstrating significant cost savings. However, in the public sector, the feasibility of procurement regulations requires further exploration.

Effect of Supplier Appraisal on Performance of Construction Projects of Counties in Lake Region Economic Bloc, Kenya

Procurement Laws and Regulations 2015 are a yard stick that directs how buying of goods, services, and works by governments and state-owned businesses should be conducted (Thiankolu, 2019). However, there exists an absence of compliance to these laws as envisaged by its framers which results to bias and uncompetitive bidding, evaluation and award of contracts process something that compromises the effectiveness of the project's accomplishment (Kagume & Wamalwa, 2018). The primary objective relating to this research entailed investigating the effect of supplier appraisal on performance of construction projects of counties in Lake Region Economic Bloc, Kenya. The study adopted a descriptive research design with stratified random sampling technique being applied to select a sample of 342 respondents from a total population of 2346 county officials that include finance and procurement officers. A survey instrument was utilized for gathering data, using questions that were both open and closed-ended. The survey instrument was piloted in Marsabit County. It was conducted to ensure that the instrument is both valid and reliable. SPSS was used to perform analysis of data. Supplier appraisal was established to have a positive and significant correlation on the performance of counties in Lake Region Economic Bloc with a co-efficient of correlation R value of 0.816 and P<0.05. Supplier appraisal with a coefficient of determination (R2=0.700, P<0.05) could account for 70% of variation in the performance of construction projects if other factors were to be held constant. Specifically, when Supplier appraisal increases by a single unit, there will be a subsequent increase in performance of construction projects by 0.885 units (β1=0.885, P<0.05). This suggests a positive and strong correlation between supplier appraisal and performance of construction projects and thus the study suggests that evaluating suppliers using technical, financial, and legal criteria might help construction projects succeed in Kenya's Lake Region Economic Bloc.

Micro-level incentives and the mechanism of import substitution in Russian public procurement

ABSTRACT Based on a large survey of manufacturing firms in 2018, this research shows that after the first wave of international sanctions imposed on Russia in 2014, along with direct preferences for domestic producers introduced by the government, Russian procurers developed specific mechanisms to stimulate import substitution and simultaneously to ensure an appropriate quality of supply. Contrary to initial expectations, our empirical analysis shows that the import of raw materials, components, or equipment itself did not limit access to public procurement for relevant suppliers. Procurers encouraged suppliers not to refuse to import (since firms without imports did not have any advantages in access to public procurement contracts), but rather to reorient their own purchases to markets where imports competed with Russian analogues and, if necessary, could be replaced by them. The import of modern equipment and technologies was extremely important for the upgrading of Russian manufacturing industry in the 2000s and 2010s. Therefore, the presence of imported inputs can be an indirect attribute of a higher quality of supply. However, international sanctions imposed in 2014 increased the risks of supply disruptions for Russian procurers. The results can be considered an example of the strategic adaptation of procurers at the micro level (outside of the direct procurement regulation) to new market conditions. These findings may be important for understanding how the Russian economy has responded to much larger and more severe international sanctions in 2022.

Show Your Hand: The Impacts of Fair Pricing Requirements in Procurement Contracting

ABSTRACTThis paper studies how a federal procurement regulation, known as the Truth in Negotiations Act (TINA), affects the competitiveness and execution of government contracts. TINA stipulates how contracting officials (COs) can ensure reasonable prices. Following TINA, for contracts above a certain size threshold, COs can no longer rely solely on their own judgment that a price is reasonable. Instead, they must either require suppliers to provide accounting data supporting their proposed prices or expect multiple bids. Using a regression discontinuity design, I find that above‐threshold contracts experience greater competition (i.e., more bids), improved performance (i.e., less frequent renegotiations and cost overruns), and reduced use of the harder‐to‐monitor cost‐plus pricing, compared to below‐threshold contracts. These findings suggest that TINA's requirements enhance competition and oversight for above‐threshold contracts.

Public sector procurement and the support of small and medium-sized enterprises: a comprehensive public procurement regulatory framework

Governments worldwide leverage their purchasing power to advance social, economic, and environmental agendas. Public procurement can be employed as a strategic instrument to support small and medium-sized enterprises. Many countries are showing a rising interest in leveraging public procurement to foster the integration of small and medium-sized enterprises into markets. However, access to public procurement contracts is a challenge for small and medium sized enterprises. There are challenges posed by government policies that is frequently overlooked. Public procurement regulations cover procedures, methods, standards, and terms for inviting bids, evaluation, selection, negotiation, awarding, and payment of suppliers of goods and services. However, many small businesses fail to meet these procedures, methods, standards, and terms because of capacities and resources constraints. There are public procurement initiatives that are currently being implemented throughout the world to help small businesses gain access to markets. Nevertheless, these initiatives are still relatively new and unstructured. There continues to be a dearth of peer reviewed research. This paper delineates small and medium-sized enterprises from various viewpoints, underlines their importance, explains the frameworks for public procurement, and proposes government-led initiatives that could facilitate the integration of small and medium-sized enterprises into the market. It is concluded that governments should implement strategies aimed at assisting small businesses. These strategies may include non-competitive practices, subcontracting initiatives, qualification criteria, preferential schemes, and award criteria. By doing so, governments can create a fairer playing field, promote the competitiveness of small businesses, and encourage their engagement in public procurement processes. This, in turn, will foster SME growth, spur economic development, and facilitate job creation.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF PROCUREMENT AND COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT ON THE PERFORMANCE OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS IN NIGERIA

The construction sector plays a vital role in driving economic growth and development in Nigeria. However, it faces significant challenges, particularly in project performance, which can be attributed, at least in part, to ineffective communication and procurement management. This research aims to evaluate how communication and procurement management impact the outcomes of construction projects in Nigeria. To conduct this study, a quantitative research design was employed, utilizing a survey questionnaire administered to 260 construction professionals. The data collected underwent analysis employing various techniques such as descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analyses (CFA), exploratory factor analyses (EFA), and structural equation model (SEM) utilizing software including the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), Microsoft Excel, and LISREL (Linear Structural Relations). The SEM analysis results revealed that 31 out of the 35 hypotheses used in the study were validated. Among these, the strongest relationships observed were those between procurement management and time performance, procurement management and cost performance, time performance and cost performance, time performance and quality performance, and communication management and time performance, in that specific order. This demonstrates the critical role of effective communication and procurement management in achieving successful construction projects in Nigeria. Additionally, the analysis of factors affecting the implementation of procurement and communication management in the Nigerian construction industry highlighted the need for stakeholders to be proactive in developing strategies that facilitate effective implementation of these practices to enhance project performance. The study also emphasizes the importance of establishing effective procurement policies and regulations, embracing technology, building capacity, managing stakeholders, and continuously improving project management practices to elevate project performance in the Nigerian construction industry.

Utility of Scenarios in Understanding Public Procurements Conducted in Theatres of Operations

Currently, operational logistics is a significant challenge: to resupply Romanian forces located in various theatres around the world. Involvement in an international mission is contingent not solely on the mission’s nature or the structures of the assumed forces but also on the requisites and logistical capabilities for supplying goods and services within the designated area. The international security environment is challenging. Political tension, military conflicts and economic problems have intensified security concerns. In this context, organizing the procurement processes efficiently is a major preoccupation for specialists. Moreover, the legal framework for public procurement opens up room for different issues. Given the multinational context and specific procurement regulations, the execution of procurements within operational theatres is exposed to distinct challenges compared to those encountered in the national territory. In this complex and ambiguous environment, understanding the legal means of addressing challenges in the procurement field is desirable. Moreover, considering the importance of procuring goods and services to achieve the mission goal, a proficient procurement specialist is a crucial asset. In this regard, the main objective of this study is to demonstrate that Scenario-Based Learning could be transformed into a useful tool for preparing future specialists in procurement.

УПРАВЛЕНИЕ ЗАКУПОЧНОЙ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТЬЮ В НОВЫХ РЕГИОНАХ РОССИИ

In 2022, the sphere of public procurement was replenished with new entities - customers of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions, which became part of the Russian Federation. For obvious reasons, procurement regulation at the initial stage was established for them in a simplified manner. The paper analyzes the regulatory framework of procurement management in new regions of Russia, highlighting problematic issues arising for these customers from the change in the basis of legal regulation of the procurement of goods, works, services for state and municipal needs of these regions. It is noted that new Russian regions were able to achieve high results in terms of procurement volumes already in 2023. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that for the first time in Russian science, the legal regulation of procurement in new regions of the Russian Federation, which became part of it in 2022, was studied and analyzed. The purpose of the paper is to analyze law enforcement practice and develop recommendations for use in procurement activities by customers in new territories, as well as when training specialists in the field of procurement for these regions. The work uses general scientific research methods: comparison, analysis, and the method of expert assessments.
