Some of the key findings are:
In 2013, all 80 municipalities in the Republic of Macedonia have spent a total of 6.2 billion MKD, i.e. 101.3 million EUR on public procurements. The City of Skopje, as specific local self- government unit, is not included in this comparative analysis, while the total value of public procurements contracts signed in 2013 amounted to 1.2 billion MKD, i.e. more than 20 million EUR.
At the level of individual municipalities, the Municipality of Aerodrom has spent the highest amount of funds on public procurements in 2013 (628 million MKD or 10.2 million EUR), while the Municipality of Centar Zupa has spent the lowest amount of funds on public procurements (1.1 million MKD or 19,000 EUR)
Great differences in public procurement spending are best represented by the fact that the Municipality of Aerodrom, as first ranked in 2013, has spent as much as 40 municipalities together, of course, those from the ranking list’s bottom.
Compared to the previous year, decline in public procurement spending was observed in 2013 by 38 million EUR, i.e. by 27%.
