Public procurement procedures within the Belgian Defence Department: 2025 progress report of the implementation of recommendations

In its report to the Federal Parliament, the Belgian Court of Audit took stock of the implementation of the seven recommendations from its 2022 audit on the internal control of the purchasing process within the Defence Department. More than two years after its initial audit, the Court noted that two recommendations have been met, three are being implemented and two remain unfulfilled. Although the Defence Department is making progress in implementing the Court's recommendations, there are still weaknesses in the control of decisions to modify public contracts during their execution.
