In order to create a common European space, EU in the past 60 years, gone from a common and single market over to Internal Market. The basic objective of growing and deepening of the market was ensuring free and transparent operations and the removal of all obstacles to the free movement of goods, services, capital and people. In order to achieve the set goal, the EU has adopted a number of contracts and legal documents, among which the most important are Rome Treaties, Single European Act, Maastricht Treaty, by which began the process of formation of the Internal market and the Lisbon Treaty. Public procurement are becoming increasingly a subject of interest of international organizations, regional development banks and UN agencies, which wants to define a transparent framework for promoting public procurement procedures, in order to achieve economic growth and increase the efficiency of public administration. With introduction of electronic procurement system, EU wants to ensure cost reduction and create an organized information platform for contracting authorities and bidders from all member countries. The effects of public procurement as a significant part of the EU's GDP on the functioning of EU Internal Market in this paper are viewed in terms of reducing corruption and increasing transparency, enhancing innovation and impact on clients and other business entities. The presence of corruption is most common in public administration and public procurement, which leads to an increase of operating costs and decrease of economy competitiveness. With measures in field of public procurement, EU aims to ensure a fair and transparent framework of public procurement based on market competition rules, which will ensure continued growth and development of EU Internal Market. Introduction of new electronic procurement system affects clients and other business entities involved in public procurement procedures, and reflects in the reduction of administrative costs and maximizing the opportunities that can be achieved from limited resources. Also, the electronic public procurement system increases efficiency in public resources consumption and resulting in overcoming costs associated with distance clients and suppliers. Stimulation of research and innovation through public procurement procedures improves the quality of public services in markets where the public sector is an important purchaser. However, further introduction of innovative processes in the public procurement process requires a thorough administrative changes at all levels of public authorities.
