Public procurement is set to become fairer and more transparent under changes proposed by a group of MPs and approved by Slovak Parliament. The amendment was passed into law on 11 February 2011 and became effective on 1 April 2011.

The changes were designed to boost competition and should lead to more efficient use of public funds. Whilst the amendment aims at reducing the scope for the process to be manipulated, its drafting which is far from perfect is likely to make the life of public authorities and economic operators even harder at times. Nevertheless, it is hoped that more businesses will be encouraged to participate, which will in turn increase competition and deliver better value for money to the public sector.
