Abstract

Local government units as entities of a public finance sector are obliged to apply provisions of the Public Procurement Law in cases in which the conditions specified in the content of this normative act are satisfied. This applies, in particular, when the value of the awarded public procurement contract exceeds the PLN equivalent of EUR 30,000. In the event of a violation of provisions of the Public Procurement Law by local government units acting as contracting authorities, the local government units shall not be directly liable. As a rule, the liable entity will be the head of the contracting authority, or members of the tender committee, or employees entrusted with performing specific tasks. The article is devoted to the analysis of the liability of local government units acting as contracting authorities in the light of the Public Finance Discipline Violation Liability Act of 17 December 2004.
