AGREEMENT ON GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT

Dispute settlement

The Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA) provides two independent mechanisms for settling procurement-related disputes: 揹omestic review mechanisms?at the national level; and the WTO dispute settlement mechanism.

Domestic review mechanisms

The GPA 2012 requires, in Article XVIII, that all parties to the Agreement should establish domestic review systems that are timely, effective, independent, transparent and non-discriminatory. These systems permit suppliers to challenge breaches of the GPA and/or the national legislation giving effect to the Agreement. The review body, which may be an administrative authority or a court, must have the authority to implement remedial measures and/or to insure compensation for the loss or damages suffered by a supplier. Rapid interim measures must also be available to preserve a supplier's opportunity to participate in relevant procurement activities, where appropriate.

WTO dispute settlement mechanism 

Article XX of the GPA 2012 provides that the WTO's Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes (the ?a href="/english/docs_e/legal_e/28-dsu_e.htm" class="paracolourtext">Dispute Settlement Understanding? also applies to disputes under the GPA. Any GPA party may initiate proceedings against another party in circumstances where it believes the other party to be in violation of its obligations under the Agreement. Three disputes between parties under the GPA have been brought to the WTO.
