Abstract

The intensity of competition is typically measured according to the number of bidders on any given public procurement market. By analysing the Tenders Electronic Daily database 2017–2020, we examine the conditions in the contract notices which have an impact on increasing competition in launching public procurement procedures. The research findings show that the longer duration of the contract, the lowest price awarding criteria, the division of the subject matter into lots and the possibility of negotiations are essential elements which can activate bidders. These are unequivocal prerequisites for creating effective and fair competition in public procurements.
