Summary/Abstract: Public procurement allocates public resources, in the IT sector it requires complex specifications, rapid change and heightened compliance and audit risk. This paper reviews Bulgaria’s regulatory framework and control architecture (PPA and CAIS EOP) and presents a case study of Gamma Consult. Using desk research, CAIS EOP bulletin data (2022-2025) and process mapping, we observe fewer participants, stable procedure volumes and a drop in EU-funded tenders.We highlight risk points in documentation, evaluation and contract performance. The paper outlines financial control tasks - threshold monitoring, budgeting, bid preparation and reporting - and notes copyright constraints affecting negotiated procedures. Recommendations stress transparency and traceability via improved CAIS EOP reporting/exports and clearer specifications and evaluation methods.
