It is internationally accepted that public procurement procedure and public contract shall be organized in accordance with the fair competition principle and fulfil the requirement of transparency. Public procurement regulations are necessary to secure the efficient use of taxpayer resources by the government in purchasing goods, services and works from the market and to ensure fair competition among the public contract should be protected and that therefore it would be necessary to amend existing regulations which prohibit or restrict this right derived from freedom of contract.  In addition, law makers should also put in place restriction with regard to corporate restructuring which main intention is to circumvent requirements of tender documents.

MUNICIPAL ENTITIES IN PUBLIC PROCUREMENT LAWIn the implementation of public tasks in the form of commissioning construction works, services, deliveries by way of a paid contract, municipal entities act as awarding entities — entities awarding a public contract. Municipal entities may also act as economic operators — entities applying for the implementation of the contract in question. In both situations they are subject to the public procurement law regime.

Viešojo pirkimo sutarties negaliojimas, kaip tiekėjo teisių gynimo priemonė vykdant viešuosius pirkimus, yra svarbus teisinis elementas, siekiant plėtoti veiksmingą teisių gynimo priemonių sistemą. Todėl tik laikas lėmė, kada šis institutas bus įtvirtintas Europos Sąjungos ir valstybių narių, įskaitant Lietuvos, viešųjų pirkimų teisėje. Siekiant didžiausio teisinio efekto įgyvendinant viešojo pirkimo sutarties negaliojimo institutą, yra svarbu lyginamuoju požiūriu ištirti, kokios yra šios priemonės teisinės kaitos prielaidos, kaip ji reglamentuojama Europos Sąjungos ir nacionalinėje viešųjų pirkimų teisėje, kokių tikslų siekiama tokiu teisiniu reguliavimu ir kokią įtaką toks reglamentavimas turi bendrai tiekėjų teisių gynimo sistemai. Tai ir yra aptariama šiame moksliniame straipsnyje.In effectiveness of a public contract as the remedy in public procurement procedures is a an element of a great importance in the light of the development of the effective remedies’system. Therefore, naturally this was only a question of time when this legal tool appears within the public procurement law of the European Unijon and Lithuania. While seeking for the greatest positive impact of the ineffectiveness in a legal practice it is important to make a comparative anglysis of the preconditions for its evolution, what the legal regulation within the law of public procurement of EU and Lithuania is, as well as what the purposes of such regulation are including the general influence the latter has on the whole remedies’system. This article is oriented towards the pursue of these goals.

The terms governing the provision of supplies, services, or works by an economic operator to a governmental entity are set into a public contract that is signed, following a procurement process. This article explores whether the public administration can utilise smart contracts to incorporate the terms governing the provision of supplies, services, or works. The fundamental elements of a contract are assessed, in order to determine whether a smart contract can be considered as fulfilling these requirements. Following this assessment, the main hurdles to the use of smart contracting are examined and a possible solution proposed. The case for utilising smart contracting within the realm of public procurement is finally advocated.

LABURPENA: Kontratu publiko baten egikaritzaren testuinguruan, arrazoi edo kausa jakin batzuk gerta daitezke, haren izaera alda dezaketenak, aldaketa batzuk egin behar izateraino. Halakoetan, kontrajarrita gerta daitezke, alde batetik, kontratu bati eusteak berez duen interes publikoa, aldaketaren bat egin behar bazaio ere, eta bestetik, kontratuaren aurretiazko suntsiarazpena, hitzartutako prestazioa burutu ezin delako. Egoera horretan, legelari espainiarrek nahiz europarrek alde batera zein bestera jo izan dute. Legedi espainiarra, Ekonomia Jasangarrirako Legea iritsi arte, oso epel agertu zen, kontratu-aldaketen kontrolari zegokionez. Behin kontratazioari buruzko 2014ko zuzentarauak onartuta, transposizioa egin behar zitzaien, eta hasitako ildoari jarraipena eman, alegia, kontratuen aldaketa salbuespen gisa eta modu justifikatuan tratatu behar dela, lizitazioen izaera lehiakorra ez kaltetzearren. Lan honetan aztertu nahi dena da Sektore Publikoko Kontratuen Legeak 2014 Zuzentarauari egin dion transposizioa. ABSTRACT: In the framework of the execution of a public contract some specific causes can change its nature and therefore make necessary some amendments. The contrast that occurs in those cases between the public interest aimed at the maintenance of the contract although it involves an amendment and the premature termination of it due to the inability to perform the agreed service, has provoked that national and european legislators priorize in some occasiones for one or the other. The Spanish legislation up until the passing of the Sustainable Economy Act was very timid regading the control of amendments. Once Directives from 2014 about public procurement were enacted it was neccesary their transposition by following the line that understands that the modifications should be addressed as exceptional and justified with the purpose of not undermining the competitive nature of bidding. We try to analyze the transposition of the Directive from 2014 by the Public Sector Contracts Act. RESUMEN: En el marco de la ejecución de un contrato público pueden darse determinadas causas que alteren su naturaleza y, por tanto, hagan necesarias algunas modificaciones. La contraposición que en estas ocasiones se produce entre el interés público ínsito en el mantenimiento un contrato, aunque suponga una modificación, y la resolución anticipada del mismo por la imposibilidad de realizar la prestación pactada, ha provocado que el legislador nacional y europeo se decante en distintas ocasiones por uno u otro. La legislación española hasta la Ley de Economía Sostenible se mostró muy tímida en el control de los modificados. Una vez aprobadas las Directivas 2014 sobre contratación fue necesario a través de su trasposición seguir la línea emprendida en el sentido de entender que la modificación debe tratarse de manera excepcional y justificadamente para no desvirtuar el carácter competitivo de la licitación. Se pretende analizar en este estudio la trasposición de la Directiva 2014 por parte de la LCSP.

NON-POSSESSION OF THE REQUIRED DECISION AND VALIDITY OF THE CONTRACT IN ECONOMIC ACTIVITY SPHERE OF PUBLIC PROCUREMENTIn the case of public procurement, the non-possession of the required decision by the contractor by the law and the terms of the proceedings results in the exclusion of the contractor from the award procedure and rejection of its off er. In this case, the public contract is not concluded. Public procurement are contracts concluded in conditions where it is difficult to talk about the implementation of the principle of freedom of contract. It remains to be determined what effect would be caused by the lack, on the part of the contractor, of the empowerment decisions required by law, if the contract were concluded under conditions of freedom of contract.

<p>RESUMO:  A entidade adjudicante encontra-se vinculada a um leque de deveres, regras e princípios na fase de formação de contratos públicos. O desvio ao cumprimento às legítimas causas de não adjudicação e aos princípios norteadores da contratação pública, como o da concorrência, imparcialidade, não discriminação em razão da nacionalidade e interesse público conduz à responsabilidade pré-contratual da entidade adjudicante, destinada à tutela ressarcitória do privado (interesse contratual positivo, interesse contratual negativo e perda de chance).  No contexto pré-contratual assumem uma especial pertinência as questões sensíveis acerca da tutela da confiança do particular, alteração anormal das circunstâncias e do reequilíbrio financeiro do contrato. Por último, a questão da “urgência” na fase pré-contratual, é assegurada pelo “contencioso pré-contratual”, de carácter urgente, previsto nos artigos 100.º a 103.º-B, do Código dos Contratos Públicos.</p><p>PALAVRAS-CHAVES: Contratos Públicos; Fase de Formação do Contrato Público; Contencioso Pré-contratual Urgente; Responsabilidade pré-contratual das entidades adjudicantes.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>ABSTRACT: The contracting authority is bound by a range of legal duties, rules and principles at the formation of contract phase. The disrespect  of the compliance of these rules and of  the legitimate causes of non-award and the public procurement´s  guiding-principles (competition, impartiality, non-discrimination on grounds of nationality and public interest) leads to the contracting authority's pre-contractual liability for the private´s financial compensation (positive contractual interest, negative contractual interest and “loss of chance”). In the pre-contractual context, sensitive issues are of particular relevance: the protection of the private´s trust, abnormal change in circumstances and the financial rebalancing of the contract. Finally, the issue of “urgency” at the pre-contractual phase is ensured by the urgent “pre-contractual litigation” provided in articles 100.º to 103.º- B, of the Public Procurement Code.</p><p>KEYWORDS: Public Contracts; Formation of the Public Contract Phase; Urgent Pre-contractual Litigation; Pre-contractual procedure´s liability of contracting authorities.</p>

This publication is a scholarly research on two separate yet interconnected legal categories: the discretion of the contracting authorities in public procurement and their right to use a unilateral termination of the public contract for the material breach as a remedy. The author hereby contends that there is a two-phase test which must be used in each case when the question of discretion arises. Moreover, the author believes that the latter cognitive tool must be implemented during the both at the time of the procurement procedures and amid the execution of the public contract. The author also argues that the provisions of the Civil Code must not be solely referred to in cases of termination of a public contract and that the procurement principles must always be deployed alongside to make a rational decision regarding the exit of the public contract.

CONTRACTORS JOINTLY IMPLEMENTING A PUBLIC CONTRACT AND ARTICLE 8 SEC. 2A OF THE ACT OF 13TH OF OCTOBER 1998 ON THE SOCIAL INSURANCE SYSTEMArticle 8 para. 2a of the Act on the social insurance system includes the so-called extended employee defi nition. For social security purposes, it is also a person who has entered into a civil law contract with his own employer or with another entity, but performs this contract for his own employer. This provision creates signifi cant practical problems, including the problems on the basis of public procurements. One of the problematic questions is employing of the same people by several contractors, who perform the public procurement together as a consortium. The question then arises whether the work performed on the basis of a civil law contract concluded with one of such contractors, next to the employment contract concluded with another contractor, constitutes the title of social insurance according to the mentioned provision. In the article the Author presents potential confi gurations of such employment and tries to answer the question, in which of those confi gurations is the Article 8 para. 2a of the Act on the social insurance system applicable. According to Author, its automatic application in all of those situations is unacceptable.
