The much referred to CPC report – what was really
their conclusions?
CPCs opinion is that there may be concerns regarding BAMCs
- selection and use of external vendors
- hiring of staff
- traceability of decision-making
Primarily concerned regarding the risk of a conflict of interest when engaging
vendors and hiring of staff
The main recommendation is to create a two tier board system (!)

CPC Report: Factual mistakes, omission of key facts and
negatively biased opinions, examples:
CPC DUTB
The commission identified signed contracts with external
vendors as one of the key corruption risks.
The procedures involved in signing contracts with selected
vendors had not been prescribed until recently, and the
commission is not aware of any criteria or requirements
applied in the selection process.
The report finds no corruptive actions taken nor is giving any
recommendation to BAMC how to improve its operations to
minimize the risks.
In legal relations with external vendors, BAMC conducts itself
in accordance with the principles of cost-effective and
effective use of public funding and exercises diligence in
ensuring proper enactment of contracts.
19 March till 31 August 2014, external consultants had been
paid approximately 12 million EUR.
The cost of external consultants were 5,2 million.
Even with 80 employees on-board BAMC is still paying a lot
of money for external vendors.
BAMC has terminated the majority of contracts with external
vendors once the organization was established and the first
transfers finalized.
It is difficult to understand that after a year the system of
operations of BAMC had still not been fully established.
The BAMC’s mandate changed several times in 2013, which
demanded extensive support and adaptability.
