During the meeting Mr. Tato Urjumelashvili, the Head of the State Purchases Agency, provided a presentation to the society attending the briefing.
According to new rules the Government makes a decision on state purchases and the State Purchases Agency carries out purchases.
Introduction of consolidated purchases into practice must enable the Government to use the advantages of the Economy of Scale as known to the economists and save a considerable amount of the state funds. Furthermore, the purchase procedures will be simplified for the state authorities.
