Why are Middle East countries adopting European procurement practices?

Middle East countries are increasingly adopting European procurement practices in order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their public procurement processes.

This is being done by introducing more competitive bidding procedures, as well as introducing more transparent and accountable processes. These procedures will also promote local businesses, increase competition, and create a more level playing field for all participants in public procurement.

Furthermore, European procurement practices tend to be more standardized, meaning that process can be streamlined, saving time and money.
