Sažetak
Relying on the transaction cost approach, this study examines some empirical evidence on public procurement in Croatia in order to clear some doubts on public procurement procedures. Public procurement procedures function as auctions: requiring bidders to compete against each other making auctions to be price and time efficient. The theoretical argumentation behind successful auctioning, when compared to bilateral negotiation, is that bidders tend to pay more attention towards potential actions of their competitors and are less focused on the bilateral arrangement with actual buyer or seller. For that reason, auctions are efficient in obtaining goods or services whenever the bidder believes that competition is fierce. This effect is likely in auctions with competitive sealed bids, where information about the presence and the identity of others bidders is hidden until the end of the bidding process. Another expected advantage of auctions with sealed bids is constricting corruption i.e., sealed bids auctions are mode of choice for organizing public procurement in EU. In this research we present the result of an empirical study about the public procurement processes in Croatian local administrative units (LGUs). Online survey was conducted containing 29 questions that gathered response from 201 LGU. Statistical analysis is deployed for establishing patterns and reaching conclusions. We were unable to statistically confirm the influence of either LGU capacity or object of transaction/bidding on the efficiency of the public procurement process which led us to conclusion that the dominant impact on public procurement durations is made by its strict regulation.
