A. BACKGROUND
Mongolia received a credit from the International Development Association (IDA) for the Strengthening Fiscal and Financial Stability (SFFS) Project. The Objective of the SFFS Project is to contribute to the Government of Mongolia’s efforts to strengthen fiscal and financial stability and improve the quality of expenditure management. The project is designed with five components: (i) Strengthening Macroeconomic and Fiscal Management; (ii) Improving the Efficiency of Public Financial Management; (iii) Enhancing Financial Sector Stability; (iv) Strengthening the Social Protection System; (v) Project Management and Monitoring. The objectives are to strengthen fiscal responsibility and implement the relevant policy measures; improve fiscal discipline; strengthen the resiliency of the banking system; improve public expenditure quality in social protection; and provide support for Project implementation, coordination, monitoring, and evaluation, including, inter alia, audit arrangements, reporting requirements, procurement, and financial management activities, respectively. For more details, please refer to the Project Appraisal Document Report No. PAD2269 .
Within the objectives of the Component B on improving the efficiency of Public Financial Management, there is a sub-component on strengthening the public financial management institutional capacity. Under this sub-component, the Ministry of Finance (MoF) seeks to advance the public procurement reforms.
On March 22, 2019, major changes to the Public Procurement Law of Mongolia (PPLM) were approved by the Parliament concerning advance procurement, green procurement, and additional provisions for complaints and domestic preference procedures. In compliance with the PPLM revisions, the MoF has been revising and updating procurement policy documents including standard bidding documents. Currently revised standard bidding documents have incorporated a guide to ensure green procurement and sustainable procurement initiatives in preparing technical specifications of goods, works, and services. Therefore, “Vision-2050", the long-term development policy of Mongolia, integrates indicators to promote sustainable development goals through public procurement.
