The ineffectiveness and invalidity of the offer in public procurement law

Abstract

A better understanding of the offer in public procurement law can be attained, if we properly distinguish between its ineffectiveness and invalidity, which ultimately leads us to the question of its procedural existence. The study asserts the general claim that the determination of the existence (or the inexistence) of a juridical act – in this case, the offer – is of primary importance preceding the validity/invalidity distinction.
