Labas pārvaldības principa izpratne un piemērošana publiskajā iepirkumā iesniegta piedāvājuma izvērtēšanā

The principle of good administration is not mentioned amongst the public procurement principles in Directive 2014/24/EU, however, it is applicable to the public procurement field as a general principle of law. In this article, the author analyses the understanding of this versatile principle in public procurement practice in Latvia. The author concludes that the references are quite rare, but there are several aspects, concerning which the principle of good administration is used more often, i.e., in cases of information exchange and tender clarification, if the tender is rejected. Therefore, the protection of the rights of individuals in cases that are not clearly regulated could be seen as an important aspect where the principle of good administration is used.
