Rizika při zadávání veřejných zakázek malého rozsahu a v užším řízení

This thesis examines the risks associated with the award of small-scale public contracts and the restricted procedure under Czech public procurement law. Its aim is to identify the specific features of the legal framework governing these regimes, map their main risk areas, and, based on a comparison with selected elements of German and Italian regulation, propose tools to mitigate these risks in the Czech context. The thesis employs descriptive, analytical, synthetic and comparative methods, drawing on legislation, case law and academic literature. The analysis shows that small-scale public contracts are significantly more exposed to risks, in particular due to lower publicity, a weaker formal framework and limited opportunities for review and control. The comparative part further demonstrates that the Italian model, combining mandatory digitalisation, the principle of supplier rotation and the strong methodological and supervisory role of ANAC, offers a more suitable source of inspiration than the German approach. The thesis concludes with de lege ferenda proposals concerning thresholds, documentation and review mechanisms for small-scale public contracts.
