What may seem like an impenetrable jungle of regulations and forms to some is actually an essential tool for ensuring the integrity and efficiency of public procurement. Public procurement law creates the basis for fair competition and serves as a protective mechanism for public contracting authorities against accusations of wasting taxpayers’ money.
By giving as many bidders as possible the opportunity to submit bids, public procurement law guarantees transparency and objectivity. Supplemented by internal control mechanisms such as the dual control principle, it helps to ensure that procurement procedures are carried out to the highest standard. Although public procurement law cannot rule out all potential irregularities, it remains an indispensable instrument for ensuring the efficient and economical use of public funds.
The cost of a strictly regulated procurement procedure may seem high for public clients and sector contracting authorities, but it serves an overarching goal: to protect the market economy from non-transparent awarding and potential cronyism. Without these regulations, key sectors of the economy would be partially or even completely excluded from free competition.
Whether small-scale municipal projects or large-scale infrastructure projects – the principles of public procurement law always remain the same. They ensure fairness, efficiency and sustainability. Working in public procurement is therefore not just a profession, but a vocation that makes a decisive contribution to the integrity and sustainability of the public sector.
