Summary/Abstract: This chapter presents information on the overall process of public procurement (forecasting, planning, preparation, procurement and appeals), not claiming to be exhaustive and comprehensive, but aiming to present the norms in action and provide an idea of how the abstract rules for procurement manifest in practice, what challenges and what paths are considered to be in line with the law by contracting authorities, who are called upon to protect legal order in the spending of public funds. It must be noted that skills, and not so much knowledge itself, can make the difference in overcoming the challenges that may be faced by those professionally involved in procurement matters. This in turn can result in increased personal expertise and, more broadly, to meeting the objective of lawful but efficient use of public resources.
