In Malta, public procurement accounted for approximately 6% of GDP in 2019 and is
recognised as a strategic instrument for achieving government policy goals, including
recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite recent efforts, the public procurement
system still faces several challenges in several areas. This report provides an overview
of the procurement system and tailored recommendations in six main areas: i) the organisational
structure of the public procurement system, ii) public procurement processes, iii)
risk management, iv) the strategic use of public procurement, v) the professionalisation
of the procurement workforce, and vi) the performance measurement framework.
