Noting that model legislative provisions on procurement of services
establishing procedures designed to foster integrity, confidence, fairness and
transparency in the procurement process will also promote economy, efficiency
and competition in procurement and thus lead to increased economic
development,
Being of the opinion that the establishment of model legislative
provisions on procurement of services that are acceptable to States with
different legal, social and economic systems contributes to the development of
harmonious international economic relations,
Convinced that model legislative provisions on services contained in a
consolidated text dealing with procurement of goods, construction and services
will significantly assist all States, including developing countries and
States whose economies are in transition, in enhancing their existing
procurement laws and formulating procurement laws where none presently exist,

Takes note with satisfaction of the completion and adoption by the
United Nations Commission on International Trade Law of the Model Law on
Procurement of Goods, Construction and Services 2/ together with the Guide to
Enactment of the Model Law; 3/

Recommends that, in view of the desirability of improvement and
uniformity of the laws of procurement, all States give favourable
consideration to the Model Law when they enact or revise their procurement
laws;
3.
Recommends also that all efforts be made to ensure that the Model
Law together with the Guide become generally known and available.
