Scope and Structure. The Roadmap will describe the existing system for managing funds under the HRD Operational Programme. It will identify the steps and improvements necessary to achieve a management and control system with internal rules of procedure as well as clear institutional and personal responsibilities which will be efficiently performed without ex-ante controls by the Commission. The Roadmap will set quantitative and qualitative benchmarks on (non exhaustive list): • the establishment and management of the institutional set up, • the staffing, • the functioning of the decentralised implementation system with ex-ante controls, • the implementation of operations/projects under the HRD Operational Programme. The Roadmap will additionally include a set of benchmarks relating to the tendering and contracting process. In particular these benchmarks will refer to the increased quality of tender and contract documents submitted to the EC Delegation for ex-ante approval and to the timely procurement (procurement plan with binding deadlines). In the Roadmap the Republic of Macedonia will set the deadline for sending to the Commission the application for the waiving of ex-ante controls.
