Monitoring of public procurement of services for managing seized assets on Prozorro. Few tenders and even fewer participants.

Our organization monitors the activities of the Asset Recovery and Management Agency (ARMA). We pay particular attention to the process of managing seized assets. We would like to update you on the results.

At the end of 2023, changes were made to the procedure for transferring assets to temporary management. Tenders for the selection of managers are published on Prozorro.

The Institute for Legislative Ideas analysed all tenders posted on Prozorro from October 2023 to April 2025. A total of 78 tenders for the transfer of assets to temporary management were posted on Prozorro. Some assets were put out to tender again.

• Results of the tenders (as of 22 April 2025)

The average number of participants where the competition took place (successful or not) was 0.8, or 54 participants for 67 competitions.

• The number of competitions with zero participants was 37.
• The number with one participant was 15.
• The number of two participants was eight.
• The number with three or more participants was seven.

This means that in 55% of cases, no one showed up for the competition.

• These trends need to change. The Institute of Legislative Ideas will continue to report on ARMA's performance indicators, as well as on individual important cases of asset transfer to management or their sale.
