Summary/Abstract: Vendor lock-in is a frequent phenomenon at ICT public procurement. Dealing with this negative phenomenon is not easy because it often presents the necessity of dealing with the conflict of the individual purposes of public procurement regulation. This article aims to provide the theoretical basis for reducing the occurrence of the vendor lock-in. It describes, among other issues, forms of the vendor lock-in, their projections, legal possibilities to prevent this phenomenon and its subsequent solutions. The article also deals with data migration and proposes partial changes of the current legal regulation.
