Abstract

The article is devoted to the dilemmas of judicial review of decisions of the National Appeals Chamber from the perspective of changes made by the Public Procurement Law of 2019 in force since 1 January 2021.
The article focuses on the limited appealability of judgments issued by the National Appeals Chamber. One of the reasons for this can be found in normative solutions, such as the prohibition on concluding a contract only at the stage of the appeal procedure, and the associated fees, which may still constitute an economic barrier relative to the expected effect. Even a successful complaint does not guarantee the awarding of the public procurement. Another fundamental drawback of the relatively low appealability of the judgments of the National Appeals Chamber is the half-baked reform whereby complaints against the National Chamber of Appeal’s judgments are considered centrally.
The conclusions include a call to introduce the necessary systemic changes and complete the incomplete reform, which will make it possible to influence the quality of adjudication and the speed, i.e. the timeliness, of considering complaints against the judgments of the National Chamber of Appeal, while also enabling judges to specialise in the area of public procurement.
