Preparing and conducting public procurement, as well as awarding a contract within the project, shall be carried out in a manner that guarantees compliance with the principle of transparency, fair competition and equal treatment of contractors, including potential contractors. In addition, with respect to all contracts awarded within the project, regardless of their value, the manner of selecting a contractor and awarding authority, it is required that the principle of sound financial management is complied with. Thus, this must be in accordance with the principles of economy, efficiency and effectiveness and the reasonability of spending public funds as well as with other conditions for the eligibility of expenditures as specified in the Programme.
