Abstract
The article discusses selected problems of organising and operating a tender committee in the process of granting public contracts. These issues include: the internal position of a tender committee in the ordering institution, its tasks and the liability of the committee members for infringing the public finance discipline. One of the discussed problems is the issue of the liability of the members of the committee resulting from the public finance discipline, due to its character as a collective body. The issue of the legal effects of dividing activities between an ordering manager and the committee during the public procurement procedure is analysed in light of the statutory tasks of the committee.
