Summary/Abstract: Public procurement is an important tool used for distribution of significant part of public expenditures. The size of public procurement market presents more than 10% GDP. That is the reason why it is important to focus on para-meters of public procurement, such as transparency, openness and professiona-lism. This article focuses on the degree of transparency and openness of public procurement in Czech Republic and Slovakia, operating with three indicators – index of transparency of public procurement market, the index of non-transpa-rent procurement and the index of international openness. At the same time we are pointing at legal frameworks of public procurement in these countries and formulating conclusions and recommendations.
