Summary/Abstract: The subject matter of the present report concerns the amendments and supplements to the Public Procurement Act which were proposed by the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Bulgaria on 28 August 2013, with regard to ensuring the publicity and transparency in the award of public contracts, as well as in the implementation and completion of concluded contracts, for the purpose of safeguarding the public interest. In order to ensure full publicity with reference to public spending, it is provided that an obligation should be imposed on contracting authorities, namely, to maintain a "buyer profile" as a separate part of their website, or of another web address, and publish on it any (in practice, almost all) kinds of documents and information related to the public procurement that each of them assigns. The failure to publish, respectively, the failure to publish within the defined period, the documents and the information that is supposed to be entered in the buyer profile shall constitute an administrative offense for which the contracting authorities shall be subject to bearing administrative liability.
