Comments | The audit examined whether government agencies and institutions had complied with the joint procurement obligation applied to them and whether the introduction of the Handi system has supported the automation of financial administration in the case of joint procurements. In addition, the audit was targeted at the operations of the Ministry of Finance as the steering unit of centralized procurement and whether joint procurements have promoted the policy objectives set for public procurements. Government agencies and institutions have complied with the joint procurement obligation well. The audit found only individual cases of non-compliance with the obligation. However, the audit found deficiencies in the documentation of non-compliance in procurement decisions. It is difficult to monitor purchases subject to the joint procurement obligation in Handi. Joint procurements are not registered separately in Handi, which makes it difficult for the procurement units to monitor them. When planning framework agreements, Hansel observes the goals for environmental, economic and social responsibility. Hansel's framework agreements meet its customers’ needs best in the case of conventional high-volume procurements. However, joint purchases are rarely suitable for making innovative purchases, and it is therefore difficult to use them to promote policy objectives related to innovativeness. Hansel has not conducted sustainability audits with its preferred suppliers. |
