Public procurement is an important tool used for distribution of significant part of public expenditures. The size of public procurement market presents more than 10% GDP. That is the reason why it is important to focus on the parameters of public procurement, such as transparency, openness and professionalism. This article focuses on the degree of transparency and openness of public procurement in Czech Republic and Slovakia, operating with three indicators - index of transparency of public procurement market, the index of non-transparent procurement and the index of international openness. At the same time we are pointing at legal frameworks of public procurement in these countries and formulating conclusions and recommendations.

The paper examines use of electronic auctions (e-auctions) as an allocation mechanism in public procurement in Slovak public sector. It is based on data from 32 procurement bodies and 725 procurements in the public sector in the period 2008 – 2010. Our findings are that e-auctions bring average savings of 10 – 12% though their implementation is not free. We recommend that future research quantify costs associated with introduction of e-auctions. The paper also demonstrates that the key variables influencing level of savings can be influenced by the procuring body: number of participants and form of auction (open vs closed).

The covid-19 pandemic has led to government action of a scope unprecedented in peacetime, including in the area of public management, administration, and public policy-making. Government approaches in the covid-19 times have thus become a relevant research issue. However, despite the extensive attention already paid to the concept of transparency in the global public and political discourse as well as academic research, we lack a clear framework for measuring the transparency of processes through which public policies, including laws and regulations, are adopted. This paper aims to remedy that, and two innovations are presented. The first one brings together various benefits of the transparency of public administration and public policy processes into a single framework, while the second one presents a conceptual toolbox for measuring the transparency of public policy. The paper illustrates use of the framework through an illustrative example of the passage of the COVID-19 legislation in Slovakia at the beginning of the pandemic, demonstrating that the overall transparency of the policy process in this case was extremely low.
