Způsoby hodnocení kritérií kvality ve veřejných zakázkách

The Public Procurement Act requires the use of economic advantage, defined as the price/quality ratio, as the basic criterion for evaluating tenders. However, the law lacks precise definitions of the quality criteria and their evaluation methods. Therefore, the thesis addresses this gap and examines the evaluation methods of quality criteria in public procurement. The theoretical part presents key aspects of current and past legislation, emphasising the evaluation process and criteria. It also presents relevant knowledge from the domain of multi-criteria decision-making with a focus on quality criteria. The empirical research is based on a sample of 300 contracts published in the Information System on Public Contracts, each evaluated against at least two criteria. The main focus of the research is on how contracting authorities handle quality criteria, specifically how they define quality, what methods they use to assess it, and whether these methods are aligned with theory. The research results show that the category of quality criteria, their specific subtype and the type of procurement significantly influence the way quality criteria are handled. These findings contribute to expanding the knowledge base in the field of public procurement.
