Public Procurement Office Orders Correction of Illegal Exclusion in PPP Advisory Services Tender

Slovakia's Public Procurement Office has ordered the removal of an illegal state of affairs in a tender for advisory services related to public-private partnership (PPP) projects. The office issued the directive following objections from a supplier group that had been excluded from the procurement process. The Public Procurement Office, which oversees government contracting to ensure transparency and fair competition, determined that the exclusion violated procurement regulations and must be corrected.
