hankeõiguste

Hankeõigused refers to the rights and obligations associated with public procurement processes in Estonia. These rights and obligations are primarily governed by the Public Procurement Act, which aims to ensure transparency, competition, and efficiency in the awarding of public contracts. The Act defines the procedures that contracting authorities must follow when purchasing goods, services, or works, and it establishes the rights of potential suppliers to participate in these procurements on equal terms.

For contracting authorities, hankeõigused include the right to define the requirements for goods, services, or works, to select the most economically advantageous tender, and to enter into contracts. They also have the obligation to conduct procurements in a non-discriminatory manner, to publish procurement notices, and to provide clear and understandable tender documentation.

For economic operators, hankeõigused include the right to access procurement information, to submit tenders, and to appeal decisions made by contracting authorities if they believe their rights have been violated. They also have the obligation to prepare their tenders in accordance with the requirements set out in the tender documents. The system aims to prevent corruption and ensure that public funds are used effectively.
