Modeling of the procedure for the public procurement system in Madagascar

Public procurement in Madagascar is a key pillar of public resource management and national economic development. Governed by legal texts, the process is based on the principles of transparency, fairness, and competition. Several bodies are responsible for regulating, monitoring, and implementing procedures, with the support of international organizations. However, irregularities are still being observed, which leads to the following problem: Despite the implementation and development of procurement procedures, non-compliance in their execution persists. The objective of this research is to determine effective strategies for optimizing the public procurement system. A survey was conducted among stakeholders in the sector, and the data collected were analyzed using multiple analysis and discriminant analysis for the development of a strategic rectangle. The results show that the gradual improvement of the system stems mainly from the absence of comments from decentralized local authorities, the ease of responding to a tender, the proper application of the public procurement code, respect for the needs of local authorities, and the role of the tender committee. Variations in the level of satisfaction with the public procurement code and perceptions of the texts also influence the system. That is why an emergency response must be prioritized and a performance model for the procurement system must be developed. Finally, it remains essential to coordinate public procurement with budget management, while taking local needs into account, in particular by adopting an appropriate procedure and complying with the key stages of the service monitoring and control process.
