The Procurement Monitoring Bureau on its website offers the possibility, within the framework of preliminary market research, for contracting authorities (including public service providers) to publish a notice on market consultation with suppliers prior to the launch of the procurement. The aim of publishing this notice together with the procurement documentation is to identify the market possibilities in the current situation and to prepare as high-quality documentation of the procurement procedure as possible before the announcement of procurement, and to promote competition in the procurement.
The publication of a notice on market consultation is an additional instrument for the consultation referred to in Section 18, Paragraph two of the Public Procurement Law (as well as Section 22, Paragraph two of the Law on Procurement of Public Service Providers), and is one of the market research tools or sources.
Notices on market consultation are published in the “Search for notifications” section on the website of the PMB.
