Tárgyalásos

Tárgyalásos is a Hungarian adjective meaning "negotiated" or "conducted by negotiation." It is formed from the noun tárgyalás (negotiation) with the suffix -os. The term is used in legal, administrative, and contractual contexts to describe procedures, settlements, or agreements that result from negotiation rather than from unilateral action or fixed terms.

In public procurement, the phrase tárgyalásos eljárás refers to a method in which contracting authorities negotiate terms with candidates or bidders before awarding a contract. This procedure contrasts with open or restricted procedures that proceed primarily through fixed tender documents. The negotiated procedure is typically invoked in complex, specialized, or exceptional cases where terms or price require adjustment through dialogue, and it is governed by rules intended to preserve transparency, competition, and justification for resorting to negotiation.

In civil and commercial law, a tárgyalásos megállapodás or tárgyalásos egyezség denotes an agreement reached after negotiation between parties, often as an alternative to litigation. Such agreements specify the conditions, obligations, and remedies that reflect the consensus reached during discussions.

The term is common in official language, including legislation, court proceedings, and procurement notices, and its precise meaning can vary by jurisdiction and regulatory framework. In Hungary, it is widely used to describe the negotiated procurement procedure under national public procurement regulation and related rules.
