The person examining public procurement-related appeals has satisfied the company’s appeal, which participated in an urgent open tender. The Human Rights Defender’s representative was involved as a party to the complaint’s investigation.
We have informed earlier that the head of a business company, disagreeing with the results of an urgent open tender organized for state needs, lodged a complaint to the person examining procurement-related appeals and applied to the Human Rights Defender’s Office for the involvement of the Defender as a party to the investigation of the complaint.
The Defender’s representative was involved as a party to the procurement-related appeal’s investigation to ensure the effective protection of entrepreneurs’ rights.
Highlighting the importance of observing the principle of certainty by state bodies during procurement processes, the Defender’s Office has prepared and presented a draft on amending the Government decision about the procurement organization and appeal process to the Government.
The draft envisages to clearly state the precise point of non-conformity in the application to the participants, when informing them about the results of the tender during application opening session of the procurement process.
The proposed amendments are conditioned by the necessity of guaranteeing the freedom of economic activity and economic competition, as well as of preventing the disproportionate interference in the constitutional right of engaging in entrepreneurial activities, improving the business environment, protecting interests of small and medium-sized business.
