Levan Zhorzholiani, Head of the Government Administration, announced that the government will submit legislative initiatives to Parliament this year to improve anti-corruption measures and refine public procurement legislation.
Zhorzholiani said that in 2026 the Administration’s supervisory functions over various branches and directions of the executive will be further strengthened. Already implemented changes brought special procurements by state-owned companies, which previously had significant gaps, back under the general procurement framework, expanding government oversight.
According to Zhorzholiani, returning around GEL 100 million of special procurements to the procurement law has allowed the state to potentially save up to GEL 300 million within six months. He emphasized that as the system improves, these savings will stabilize, enabling the state to purchase more goods and services at adequate prices, supporting more projects efficiently.
Starting June 2026, a new entity, the Central Procurement Agency, will manage large, consolidated tenders. The government expects this body to conduct around GEL 2 billion in annual purchases with maximum transparency and cost-effectiveness.
