Abstract

Describing the subject of the contract is one of the contracting authority’s most crucial tasks during the preparation stage of public procurement proceedings. Properly drafting this description ensures not only the efficient conduct of the procurement process, but also the acquisition of goods that meet the authority’s needs. Despite the legislator specifying rules in the Public Procurement Law, including principles for preparing such descriptions and prohibiting practices that could hinder fair competition, contracting authorities frequently violate these regulations. This article analyses statutory instruments that shape improvements in the process of drafting descriptions of the subject of contracts.
