This thesis makes the comparison of legal frameworks of the two Procurement Laws, the New Public Procurement Law (4734) and the Ex-State Procurement Law (2886) respectively. As a result of this comparison, it is seen that a lot of provisions starting from tender notice time limits to the awarding of contracts, have been changed substantially by the introduction of Turkish Public Procurement Law. Besides this comparison, the related procurement directive on construction works in European Community, namely EEC 93/37 is analyzed through the topics pertinent to the New Public Procurement Law, from which it is observed that there are both similar and different application regarding tender process in this directive when compared with the provisions of Turkish Public Procurement Law on construction works. This thesis study also aims to put forward the conception of Turkish contractors about the New Public Procurement Law by means of a questionnaire containing 15 questions. From the results of questionnaire, it is seen that majority of the contracting companies have a positive attitude towards the New Public Procurement Law although some provisions of the Law do not meet the expectations of the companies.

This thesis analyses the neoliberal reforms in the public procurement field by comparing the Northern and Southern examples, with a particular focus on the enactment of the Turkish Public Procurement Law and the establishment of Turkish Public Procurement Agency in 2001. This thesis argues that despite the depoliticisation claims of neoliberal ideology the reforms in the public procurement field have gone through a highly politicised process in both North and South. The reforms launched in the procurement field have been constructed around different languages. The language of reform has intended to delegitimize any business-state cooperation. This type of language of reform in themSouth, particularly in Turkey, has turned into a strategy to open the state procurement market to the Western foreign firms on equal footing with the national ones. Coming under the pressure of different coalition groups of national and foreign capital owners, the Turkish government of has intervened in the decisions of the Public Procurement Authority, which has been formed as an independent regulatory agency and in the Public Procurement Law, which was initially enacted to guarantee transparency. This thesis has reviewed the processes of the enactment and amendment of the Public Procurement. Eventually it states that the highly technical language of reform in the procurement field is highly political, and aims to redistribute resources between different capital groups.

Mit Wirkung zum 18. April 2016 ist das Vergaberecht in Deutschland neu geregelt worden. Anlass für die Neuregelung war die Umsetzung dreier EU-Richtlinien in nationales Recht. Die neuen Regelungen finden sich im Wesentlichen im geänderten Gesetz gegen Wettbewerbsbeschränkungen (GWB) und der geänderten Vergabe- und Vertragsordnung für Bauleistungen Teil A (VOB/A) sowie der neuen Vergabeverordnung (VgV), der neuen Sektorenverordnung (SektVO) und der neuen Vergabeverordnung Verteidigung und Sicherheit (VSVgV).

Insgesamt zwölf dynamische Verweisungen enthält das sächsische Vergabegesetz (SächsVergabeG). Dadurch werden die in Bezug genommen Texte und Normen aus den GWB, VOL/A und VOL/B, VOB/A und VOB/B, SäHO sowie dem SächsVwKG Teil der verweisenden Regelungen und zwar in ihrer aktuellsten Fassung. Während die letzten beiden Gesetzestexte für die hiesigen Ausführungen eher unproblematisch sind, werfen die übrigen, insbesondere seit der Reform des Kartellvergaberechts aus dem Jahre 2016, einige praktische und rechtliche Fragen auf. Diese werden im Folgenden näher beleuchtet. Gleichzeitig werden auch verschiedene Möglichkeiten ihrer Handhabung für den Rechtsanwender aufgezeigt.

Der Freistaat Sachsen besteht aus insgesamt 422 politisch selbständigen Städten und Gemeinden sowie zehn Landkreisen.1 Als kommunale Auftraggeber sind sie volkswirtschaftlich betrachtet ein bedeutender Wirtschaftsfaktor. Im Jahr 2016 hat die kommunale Ebene beim Einkauf von Gütern, Leistungen und Bauleistungen 1,17 Mrd. Euro oder 287 Euro pro Einwohner ausgegeben. Im darauffolgenden 2017 waren es 1,25 Mrd. Euro oder 307 Euro pro Einwohner. Gleichzeitig hat sie 24 000 (2016) bzw. 28 000 (2017) Vergabeverfahren durchgeführt. Dabei sieht sie sich insbesondere bei der Vergabe von Bauleistungen mit einer unzureichenden Anzahl an Bietern konfrontiert. Im Übrigen bestehen in der Vergabepraxis und Ausrichtung der Gebietskörperschaften große Unterschiede. In der Regel sind bei den Landkreisen und kreisangehörige Gemeinden personelle Engpässe, das Fehlen von Vergabestellen und eine unzureichende statistische Erfassung der Vergabeverfahren zu beklagen. Dazu spielen strategische Aspekte und die ausschließliche elektronische Abwicklung von Vergabeverfahren nur eine marginale Rolle. Ganz anders zu beurteilen ist die Lage bei den drei kreisfreien Städten. Diese verfügen über eine organisierte Vergabestruktur und in den meisten Fällen eine statistische Erfassung der durchgeführten Vergabeverfahren. Alle kreisfreien Städte haben mit der Einbindung strategischer Vergabezwecken Erfahrung gemacht.

Esta pesquisa analisa um conjunto de 76 decisões proferidas pelo Tribunal de Contas da União Brasileiro, relativas às irregularidades de sobrepreço em contratos de obras publicas federais licitadas e executadas, com o objetivo de identificar estratégias de captura de renda e as respostas da Corte de contas. Estas decisões são denominadas de acórdãos e foram selecionadas pelo próprio Tribunal para servirem de paradigma para futuras decisões. A pesquisa identificou 4 diferentes estratégias de captura de renda envolvendo manipulação de índices referenciais de preço de itens unitários e verificou que as determinações contidas nos acórdãos analisados limitam-se a corrigir a irregularidade e a penalizar os responsáveis com multas previamente conhecidas. / The study analyzes 76 decisions made by the Brazilian Supreme Audit Court, regarding overpricing irregularities in public bidding contracting for federal construction and execution, in order to identify rent-seeking strategies and Court responses. These decisions are called \"acórdãos\" and they were selected by the Supreme Audit Court to guide future decision making. The study identified 4 different rent-seeking strategies involving the manipulation of price reference indexes for unit items and it also verified that the decisions are limited to correct the irregularity and to penalize the responsible ones with prior known fines.

<p>The government procurement legislation – i.e. the Swedish procurement law, the EC procurement directives and the WTO’s Government Procurement Agreement – applies on public procurement. Such a procurement exists when the contractor meets the conditions stated in the directives that the organ is to be considered as a contracting auhtority. The conditions are supposed to cover the bodies that objectively are thought to take other considerations than economic when purchasing services or products. The definition of contracting authorities has, however, given rise to several interpretation problems when putting the wording into practice. Since it is the contracting authorities themselves that are responsible for their compliance with the law when purchasing, an unclear definition will result in bodies getting a possibility to, to a larger extent, evade the obligation to comply with the procurement legislation. Because of this, it is of great importance that the courts create a unitary interpretation of the definition; a clear definition serves as a means of exerting pressure. </p><p>The thesis is an investigation of the definition of contracting authority where the primary source of information consists of case law from the European Court of Justice. The purpose is to visualize the underlying philisophy of the regulation with a view to suggest an instrument for determining a body’s status as a contracting authority. Regarding the definition of contracting authority, the thesis discuss three different levels. The first level consists of an examination of the wording according to both the directives and the Swedish law, and then the interpretation of the wording by the European Court of Justice. At the following level, it is set out to illustrate differences between the definition on a national level and an EC level, respectively. Finally, it will be established what legislation technique that seems to have been used when formulating the definition of contracting authority in the directives, and also how the result of this should influence the interpretation of the term.</p>
