Public procurement system in Turkey

The article discusses the organization of public procurement in the Republic of Turkey and the criteria for the effectiveness of public procurement. The main function of public authority is the provision of socially important goods and services to the population. Implementing this function, the government acts in the interests of the population and uses the resources of budgets of certain levels. The main way to implement and implement the service functions of public authority is the formation and placement of state and municipal orders. Formation and placement are carried out publicly, in accordance with legally established procedures. The Turkish economy has gone from the initial stage of development, the markets for goods and services have long been formed. In each sphere and industry, their own peculiarities arose, and, with their consideration, companies entrenched there. Perhaps because of this, entry into the market of new companies is difficult. These problems can be considered insignificant, as the market economy in Turkey is already built. In the Republic of Turkey, participation in tenders for the supply of goods for state needs is regulated by the Federal Law “On tenders for state needs”. Special requirements and conditions for small and medium-sized businesses are not specified in the law; therefore, the rights and obligations of local participants in public procurement do not differ. The main problem of the Turkish economy in the field of public procurement is the low level of transparency. In the Turkish economy, the shadow sector occupied a significant part all the time, and corruption was thriving in the highest circles. Financial transparency makes a better investment climate and at the same time is important for the EU as an indicator of sustainability and predictability. But the European approach to solving this problem is unlikely to be effective in Turkey. By creating new bureaucracies, one cannot fight corruption
