Summary/Abstract: The concept of Abnormally Low Tenders (ALTs) is a relevant issue at the practical level in public procurement. This paper examines the need for a rigorous approach in the practice of detection, analysing and making a decision on ALTs, both at the level of process and content related dimensions of the concept. Within the frame of the new legislation governing Public Procurement in Romania, an interdisciplinary approach is identified as required in the practice of ALTs: understanding and applying legal requirements is equally important as understanding economics in assessing a tender as abnormally low.
