Public procurement issues are continuously discussed in the media. On one hand there are complaints regarding corruption acts, on the other hand the system itself has obvious flaws long-time denoted by civil society, but ignored by policy makers. An administrative reform should start from analysing the law and the practice. Desk research, substantial interaction with public authorities and use of the Electronic Public Procurement System, all constitute a good opportunity to highlight relevant elements for the smooth running of public administration, particularly public procurement, based on the researcher’s experience. Thus, we propose a few simple and basic steps to improve the procurement system, both in terms of fighting corruption and in terms of reducing the state sector inefficiencies.
