Abstract

Agriculture and forestry in Slovakia is a sector that includes the highest number of contract awards in public procurement. The main aim of this article is to identify an influence of selected determinants on public procurement efficiency in agricultural and forestry sector in Slovakia. There are created two basic types of models based on a sample of 291 contracts, which were formed by means of a multiple linear regression in program R. The first model examines an influence of variables on public procurement savings that is defined as a rate of the final and probable price of the contract. This model confirms a positive influence of a number of offers on savings’ formation, where each next offer increases saving of approximately 8.816 %. On the other hand, a subcontractor’s presence reduces saving by 19.9 %. The second model examines and influence of variables on a number of offers in public procurement. The number of offers in a given sector positively influences a public competition, while there is usually of three offers more than in the negotiating process. However, the number of offers decreases when a contract is financing from the EU funds and when contract specifies a criterion of quality.
