Since its adoption, Gherbal Initiative has dedicated part of its efforts to monitor the implementation of this law. Therefore, in collaboration with the Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI) and the Institut des Finances Basil Fuleihan, "Monaqasa.org" platform was launched to monitor, track, and publish all announced bids. This platform allows all visitors (individuals, small and medium-sized enterprises, oversight bodies, researchers, etc.) to search within the bids and view their statuses; whether still active, awarded, or canceled, along with the names of the winning bidders, contract values, and other relevant information.

In addition to its research efforts and the monitoring platform mentioned earlier, Gherbal Initiative organized a series of 20 workshops across all Lebanese regions to explain the new Public Procurement Law to the attendees, broaden their understanding of its provisions (with 25-35 participants per workshop), and address their questions. The targeted participants included citizens (including civil society organizations and small and medium-sized enterprises) and public sector employees.

To further support these efforts, Gherbal Initiative is launching this report to mark the second anniversary of the enactment of the Public Procurement Law. The report aims to assess the extent of the law's implementation, track the number of announced bids, document the number of administrations involved in procurement operations, and analyze the sectors, services, and districts where these operations occurred, along with other relevant data.

Additionally, the report seeks to evaluate the impact of the Public Procurement Law on procurement operations, assess its role in enhancing transparency, and contribute to improving the overall procurement landscape in Lebanon.

This report documents all bids collected by Gherbal Initiative from various sources, including the Public Procurement Authority’s platform, the Official Gazette, public administrations’ websites, and other platforms. These bids were published on "Monaqasa.org" platform and followed up on through official requests for information sent to the administrations, and field visits to gather data on winning bidders and the value of awarded contracts.

Monitoring public procurement in Lebanese public administrations remains a pivotal issue, particularly in the second year of the implementation of the Public Procurement Law. While the law aims to promote transparency and integrity in managing public funds, the findings so far highlight significant challenges.
