Original Abstract

Errors in tender documentation are an unfortunately common, but undesirable phenomenon in public procurement that complicates the entire process. The errors can take different forms and have different consequences. This article aims to analyse and then compare the errors of two technologically distinct types of construction works from the perspective of the applicable Czech legislation. A total of 45 transport and 45 building engineering projects were analysed and assessed for the period from 2016 to 2020. The results show that the incidence of errors is relatively high, consisting especially in the absence of the bill of quantities, references to project documentation and failure to specify a pricing system. A comparison of transport and building engineering projects indicates that the implementation of building engineering projects carries a significantly higher risk. The findings presented in this article aim to highlight the most common errors in tender documents for public contracts and to raise awareness of the possibility on the part of the contracting authority to check the bill of quantities.
