Procedury zamówień publicznych w projektach współfinansowanych ze środków funduszy strukturalnych

Abstract

The effective use of European funds depends on abiding by established procedures. In the case of units obliged to follow public procurement regulations, the fact that the laws are respected is of fundamental importance to the absorption of EU funds. The beneficiaries of EU funds are obliged to follow special rules concerning their use, as specified in the agreement for co-financing the project and in the programme guidelines, but also in other documents which are binding for the implementation of EU operational programmes. These rules are very often stated in a way which lacks precision or change during the realisation of the project; they can also differ within particular operational programmes. This book presents various financial perspectives in the context of public procurement procedures which are binding for beneficiaries. Moreover, it discusses the irregularities observed in the co-financed procurement procedures as well as the organs and institutions that are entitled to supervise procurement records. It offers a comprehensive overview of the area and related problems for public finance sector units which award public procurement contracts, in particular those co-financed by EU funds.
