Despite numerous amendments aimed at improving efficiency and transparency, the system remains burdened by frequent appeals, inconsistencies between DKOM, the Public Procurement Directorate, and administrative courts, as well as insufficient legal certainty.

Key recommendations for improvement include:

• harmonizing the practices of relevant institutions and strengthening cooperation,
• introducing a central e-platform and enhancing the searchability of decisions,
• increasing DKOM’s institutional capacity,
• expanding contracting authorities’ powers to request clarifications of tender documents,
• broadening the legal standing for appeals,
• clearly defining major violations of procurement procedures,
• extending appeal deadlines,
• reducing fees for initiating appeal procedures.

The goal is to ensure a more efficient, fair, and transparent public procurement system, aligned with EU directives, while strengthening legal certainty and fostering fair market competition.
