Summary/Abstract: Public expenditures via public procurement accounts for a significant percentage of GDP - around 15 %. Most authors agree that there is an inversely proportional relation between competitiveness and the final price of the public procurement (Kuhlman and Johnson, 1983; Brannman, 1987; Rose-Akerman, 1999; Gupta, 2002; Pavel, 2010; and many others). According to some authors, price decreases caused by increasing competitiveness stop when there are 6-8 participating competitors and they describe this point as fully competitive procurement. When full competitiveness is reached, subsequent additional competitors have only a minimal or no impact on the final procurement price.
