3.3- Developing risk questions
The third step of this prioritization study consists of transforming the list of 6 major
national priorities into risk question. These questions were formulated in a generic way
so that to include a broader range of public procurement (See appendix E for the priority
of improving renewable energy)
The retained list of public procurement spent areas will be discussed in the next step.
These public procurements areas have been regrouped under major categories (i.e.
―Constructions‖, ―Maintenance‖, ―Acquisitions‖, ―Health‖, ―Material & Equipments‖,
―Service Purchases‖, ―Rentals‖, and ―Others‖) in a way to optimize the answers of the
interviewed experts. Moreover, a brief description of all procurements areas have been
attached to the questionnaire – on need basis – for an improved understanding of the
question (see Appendix E)
3.4- Analyzing expenditures
While working on the national priorities, a thorough analysis of the public expenditures
was performed. The Ministry of Finance provided us with a relevant book concerning the
policies and procedures of the public sector procurement applied in Lebanon. This
document enabled us a better comprehension of the public procurement process.
