Abstract

Properly awarding a public contract is primarily conditional on how accurately the subject of the contract is determined, a true description and a careful estimation of the value of the contract. If a contract is divided up in a way that is inconsistent with the Public Procurement Law, it effectively prevents the procedure from being carried out properly. Therefore, the consequence of illegally dividing a contract is liability for violating public finance discipline. However, the relationship between liability for violating this prohibition and liability for determining the contract value and awarding the contract remains problematic.
