European Bank for Reconstruction and Development

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) was established in 1991 to help build a new, post-Cold War era in Central and Eastern Europe. It has since expanded to other transition economies and gained unique international investor expertise in fostering economic change by investing more than €150 billion in a total of over 6000 projects. EBRD promotes democratic rule and market economy, sound commercial laws and strong institutions, all of which are integral to sustainable economic transition. Through Legal Transition Programme in the Office of the General Counsel, the Bank helps to create investor-friendly, transparent and predictable legal environments in the economies where we invest. The EBRD Legal Transition Programme works with reform-oriented governments and specialises in designing technical cooperation programmes to support regulatory reforms to sustainably transform local economies.

Event Details

The Ministry of Finance of the Kyrgyz Republic (MF KR) and the Department of Public Procurement under the MF KR with the support of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) have implemented a new project on open government data in the public procurement. This project was initiated in 2018 and aims to increase transparency and the level of competition in the public procurement market, to promote accessibility to procurement opportunities as well as information, and to facilitate the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) in public tenders. Thanks to this project public procurement data is now structured and available online.


As part of the project, a lot of work was done to implement the publication of public procurement data in the OCDSformat, developed by the Open Contracting Partnership (OCP). The Kyrgyz Republic public procurement data is now available in the OCDS format and its' implementation improves the existing electronic public procurement system, standardises public procurement data, improves data quality, and provides ample opportunities for analytics. The data is available in a well-structured format on http://zakupki.gov.kg and automatic regular updates guarantee its relevance and accuracy.


An important facilitator for data utilization is e-services and tools that help work with data to solve practical problems in public procurement sector. The standardised publication format allows for flexible integration with other software solutions as well as tools. Support by the EBRD project provided a reliable source of data with up-to-date public procurement information and supplied the Public Procurement Department with the set of powerful tools for conducting analysis, audit and open government.


On December 14, 2020, the Department of Public Procurement, with the support of the EBRD, will hold an online event to demonstrate the implemented solutions to representatives of the government, ministries, and other state authorities interested in reforming public procurement.

· Promote Open Government Data, Open Contracting principles and the adoption of the Open Contracting Data Standard;
