Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Defence have developed practical tools in order to inform contracting authorities on the development in their respective areas.

The Directorate General for Public Accounting (DGCP) of the Budget Ministry is appointed to give advice to local authorities on procurement.

The National Court of Audits (CC) and its 27 inferior regional courts (CRC) are the main oversight bodies.
