PUBLIC PROCUREMENT INLITHUANIA © OECD 2024ForewordIn Lithuania, public procurement has a significant economic size and impact. For this reason, Lithuaniarecognises public procurement as a strategic tool to support broader policies and contribute to the country’seconomic growth and recovery. Used strategically, public procurement can contribute significantly toaddressing EU priorities (green transition and innovation), achieving the 2030 Agenda for SustainableDevelopment(SDGs),and“building back better”after the COVID-19 pandemic crisis and recentgeopolitical shocks.Promoting the use of public procurement to address global challenges such as climate change and supportinnovation is a top priority in Lithuania. In the National Progress Plan (2021-2030) adopted in 2020, thegovernment of Lithuania set an ambitious 20% target for innovation procurement by 2030, with the interimgoal of 5% by 2025. Starting in 2023, the government of Lithuania also set up a 100% target for greenpublic procurement.A sound and well-functioning public procurement systemis essential to further promote its strategic use.To this end, Lithuania has been working with the European Commission and the OECD since 2017 toincrease the efficiency and efficacy of its public procurement system in line with the 2015 OECDRecommendation on Public Procurement and international good practices. Building on this successfulpartnership, Lithuania enhanced further the centralisation and professionalisation of its public procurementsystem through reforms, including laws and regulations based on recommendations from the EU-fundedpublic procurement reform project “Improvement of the Lithuanian public procurement system throughprofessionalization of the national workforce and streamlining of R&D tendering” (2018-2019). Indeed,Building on these successes, Lithuania has ambitions to implement further reforms to move to the frontlineof public procurement practices in Europe and the OECD.This report provides Lithuania with recommendations and suggested actions to improve its publicprocurementsystem and promote the uptake of strategic procurement through centralisation andprofessionalisation.
