Public Procurement in Broadband Infrastructure Projects in the Republic of Croatia

This paper investigates public procurement in Broadband Infrastructure Projects in the Republic of Croatia, the funding of which is provided by the European Regional Development Fund for the period 2014-2020. Since successfully implemented procurement procedure for the infrastructure solution is one of the key factors for grant approval and the start of project implementation, the question arises as to which public procurement techniques contribute best to achieving the goals and meeting the objectives of these specific projects. It is estimated that the available literature and legal cases are not sufficient to make a decision on the selection of the procedure. Therefore, a conclusion of possible procedures was reached on the efficient and effective process through a comparison, as well as multicriteria analysis, leading to the successful completion of the procurement process.
