Právní úprava obranných veřejných zakázek v ČR a Kanadě

The master's thesis focuses on a comparative analysis of the legal framework and institutional structure of defense procurement systems in the Czech Republic and Canada. Based on a comparison of both models, the primary objective is to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the Czech regulation and to formulate specific recommendations for enhancing the efficiency, transparency, and value for money of the acquisition process in the Czech Republic. The methodology is based on an analysis of the legislation and implementing regulations of both countries, with the main focus on the comparative method and the subsequent synthesis of findings. The thesis describes in detail the Canadian model, which is characterized by a rigorous division of powers between the Department of National Defence, Public Services and Procurement Canada and the Innovation, Science and Economic Development, complemented by multi-level financial oversight and independent review mechanisms. In contrast, the Czech system is identified as highly centralized within the Ministry of Defence of the Czech Republic; while this increases operational flexibility, it simultaneously limits external oversight and the systematization of industrial cooperation. The principal contribution lies in the formulation of proposals for institutional reform in the Czech Republic, including the structural separation of the military user role from the contracting authority, the introduction of an independent ex ante review of operational requirements, and the enhancement of the procedural efficiency of review proceedings of ÚOHS. The thesis also recommends the systematic development of industrial cooperation tools in order to maximize the economic benefits of defense investments for the domestic industrial base.
