Summary/Abstract: Public procurement could be defined as a process whereby public sector organisations acquire goods, services, works and utilities from the private sector. There are two important parts of the economy that are involved in the public procurement: public sector as contractor and private sector as bidder. The establishment of a legal framework in the area of public procurement and its effective implementation is an important tool for eliminating preferential public procurement practices and favourable market positions of nationally and locally operating firms. Public procurement regulation is an essential instrument in the fight against corruption.
