Abstract
The first part of the article focuses on the consequences of project errors for public procurement proceedings, the effect of the occurrence on errors on future proceedings (with the participation of the previously erring contractor), methods for developing contractual terms in the proceedings where documentation is provided by the contracting authority, as well as the rules for awarding a contract without an invitation to tender from a service which my allow to minimize the risk of errors and contain their adverse effects (author’s supervision). The second part concerns the consequences of design errors for the parties to a public contract for design works, including the regimes of contractor’s liability.
