Public procurement is one of the most important economic activities, where it involves
the purchase of goods, services or works with the use of public money. Public
procurement is also an area undergoing digital transformation. In particular, eprocurement
is a rapidly evolving set of technologies. However, in order to ensure the
smooth planning, development and use of these technologies, it is necessary to have
an adequate framework for their implementation. Thus, the purpose of the master's
thesis is to examine how the e-procurement system was implemented in Albania,
Serbia, Montenegro and North Macedonia, in relation to the established framework for
the implementation of electronic public procurement (technological, legal,
organizational framework and financial resources) and to investigate the benefits and
challenges related to its implementation. Three research methods are used:
descriptive, which was used to analyze the field; a case study where the presented
theory was applied to the case of selected countries; comparative, where the
implementation of e-public procurement was compared.
In all countries, the legal framework for implementation is given in the law and by-laws,
i.e. rules. Systems in all countries enable e-publication, e-access, e-submission, eevaluation,
e-appeal and e-archiving. Financial resources are defined only in the part
of the development of the e-public procurement system. The organizational aspect is
precisely defined by law. The common main reasons for the introduction are the
fulfillment of the conditions for joining the European Union and the reduction of
corruption. Acceptance of the system by the end user is essential for successfully
managing changes during implementation. The master's thesis provides countries that
have not yet switched to e-procurement with the main reasons for the switch, the
benefits after the implementation and a more detailed analysis of the implementation
in terms of legal, organizational, technological framework and financial resources.
