Procurement Procedure
More informationThe public procurement system is decentralised, all the contracting authorities manage their own procurement without any central control. There is no central purchasing body, but it is allowed for contracting authorities to implement joint purchasing. The list of commodities that can only be purchased jointly is an effort by the government to insert some sort of centralization in the system.
The Ministry of Regional Development (MoRD)
- proposes legislation and implement the regulations in connection with public procurement procedures
- provides support and help for contracting authorities
- manages the online Public Procurement and Concessions Portal
- responsible for the Information System on Public Procurement
Office for the Protection of Competition (OPC):
- supervises the public procurement procedures in terms of compliance to the legislation
- is authorized to impose any penalties, sanctions and even bans in case of any breaches. Against its decisions, appeals can be submitted to the Regional Court in Brno and to the Supreme Administrative Court.
Supreme Audit Office (SAO): performs external reviews in terms of compliance with the regulations and forwards its findings to the Parliament, the administration and the general public together with recommendations on how to use the public funds. It has no authority to impose any sanctions.
