What Georgia Law on State Procurement No. 1388-IIs of 20 April 2005 (Sakhelmtsipo Shesqidvebis Shesakheb) as amended and State Procurement Agency requires
The Georgia Law on State Procurement No. 1388-IIs of 20 April 2005 (Sakhelmtsipo Shesqidvebis Shesakheb / Law on State Procurement) effective 1 January 2006 as substantially amended over time (most recently by Law of Georgia No. 2675-XVIs of 13 December 2022 effective 1 January 2023 modernisation amendments aligning with EU procurement principles), is the principal Georgian statute governing procurement of goods, works, and services by procuring entities including the central government bodies (ministries, agencies, sub-agencies), legal entities of public law (Sajaro Samartlis Iuridiuli Pirebi / SSIP), state-owned enterprises and limited liability companies with majority state participation, autonomous republic and local self-government bodies (municipalities), and other entities financed by the State Budget. Law 1388-IIs modernised the Georgian procurement regime aligning with the EU procurement directives 2014/24/EU and the EU-Georgia Association Agreement (provisionally applied 2014, in force 2016) DCFTA procurement provisions. The State Procurement Agency (SPA, procurement.gov.ge) under the Office of the Prime Minister is the central regulatory authority responsible for procurement regulation, oversight, electronic procurement platform operation, complaint resolution, and procurement guidance. The Georgian Electronic Government Procurement System (Ge-GP / tenders.procurement.gov.ge) operated by SPA is the mandatory federal e-procurement platform for all in-scope procurement. The Dispute Resolution Board (DRB) handles procurement complaints. Procurement methods established by Law 1388-IIs art. 10 to 21 comprise (a) Electronic Tender (Eltsernuli Tender, the default open electronic public tender for prescribed-value acquisitions), (b) Simplified Electronic Tender (Gamartivebuli Eltsernuli Tender, for medium-low value), (c) Two-Stage Tender (for complex acquisitions), (d) Consolidated Tender (for centralised category procurement), (e) Direct Procurement (Pirdapiri Shesqidva, sole-source under prescribed exceptions in art. 10 paragraph 3 including emergency, sole supplier for technical reasons, prior failed tendering, and prescribed-class exemptions), (f) Simplified Procurement (Gamartivebuli Shesqidva, for low-value below prescribed threshold), and (g) Concession Procurement (Koncessia). The State Audit Office of Georgia conducts ex-post procurement audit. Georgia is in WTO accession in the procurement chapter and is NOT yet a party to the WTO Government Procurement Agreement (GPA).
