Abstract

Public procurement is a very important area of competitiveness development of the countries. Significant public sector financial resources are allocated through public procurement. Over the last decade, there has been a growing demand for an investigation of the efficiency of public procurement processes. In the research studies, analyses focusing on methodological aspects, efficiency assessment models, economic and transaction costs and other economic parameters in relation to public procurement have begun to appear gradually. Their importance has increased in the recent period, especially in the era associated with a lack of financial resources in the economic and social spheres. A correct determination of the mechanisms ensuring the implementation of transparent competition is able to allow improvement of competitive environment. Such aspects prompt this study, which is aimed at examination of the selected parameters of public procurement in the tertiary education sector and their impact on the final cost of the public procurement contract. There are no such sectoral analyses within the national environments, making it difficult to create an international comparative basis. The aim of the paper is to investigate the impact of the selected public procurement parameters on the final price. These parameters are subcontractor participation, European funds funding, usage of electronic auction, type of procured item, and procurement procedure. Besides these ones, public procurement processes also influence the final price. Approximately, a share of 95 % from the expected price is reflected in the final price, whilst a mean regression coefficient of the number of offers reaches a level of -17499.07 in the year 2017. The outcome of the analysis can help the procurers to identify the behavior of public procurement and to confirm or disprove the significance of the parameters that are examined using the quantitative methods. The results of this analysis are beneficial for national policymakers as well as national and international benchmarking.

高等教育部门公共采购参数的经济方面

公共采购是各国竞争力发展的重要领域。公共部门的大量财政资源是通过公共采购分配的。在过去十年中，越来越多的人要求对公共采购程序的效率进行调查。在研究中，逐渐出现了侧重于方法方面、效率评估模型、经济和交易成本以及与公共采购有关的其他经济参数的分析。在最近一段时期，特别是在经济和社会领域缺乏财政资源的时代，它们的重要性有所增加。正确确定确保透明竞争实施的机制能够改善竞争环境。这些方面促成了这项研究，其目的是审查高等教育部门公共采购的选定参数及其对公共采购合同最终成本的影响。在国家环境中没有这种部门性分析，因此难以建立国际比较基础。本文的目的是调查选定的公共采购参数对最终价格的影响。这些参数包括分包商的参与、欧洲基金的资助、电子拍卖的使用、采购项目的类型和采购程序。除此之外，公共采购过程也会影响最终价格。大约，预期价格中95%的份额反映在最终价格中，而2017年报价数量的平均回归系数达到-17499.07。分析的结果可以帮助采购人识别公共采购行为，并证实或反驳使用定量方法检查的参数的意义。这一分析的结果对国家决策者以及国家和国际基准制定都是有益的。
