Abstract
Issues of regulating public procurement throughout the world are the subject of close attention fromthe legislators. Because in this case the buyer in the face of the state is interested in the maximum efficiency of theprocess. One of the important directions in lawmaking around the world has become the struggle for fair competition,which, according to economic theory, should lead to lower prices.

This isn`t about episodic bribing ofofficials, but about the merging of government and business, as a result of which, along with competitive methods ofselecting suppliers, lobbying has become important.
