 abstract={Contractual freedom is present in public procurement despite various restrictions. The greatest restrictions come from the area of legislation, and are characteristic for parametric economic control, while individual administrative intervention is of secondary importance. As regards the choice of the type of contract, the restrictions are sporadic, because the Act does not state when and what kind of contracts may be awarded by public sector entities. Entrepreneurs also apply for individual contracts on a voluntary basis. However, a ban on direct transactions justifies highly inconvenient bureaucratic rationing of public procurement procedures, although the will of the parties is of fundamental importance here, especially when constructing procedural conditions, and the Act plays only a supplementary role here. Restrictions regarding the formulation of the content of the contract are equally burdensome. The use of mandatory clauses, imposed by law, is increasing, and normative principles of public procurement are becoming more and more rigorous, which is justified by the need for increased protection of the public interest. Freedom in the remaining areas is often abused by the contracting authority, who sets the provisions of the agreement in advance. Therefore, the recently regulated possibility of fighting abusive clauses in an appeal procedure is of great practical significance. At the same time, while strengthening the principle of real contract implementation, which excludes the possibility of circumventing the results of the tender, a ban has been introduced on making major changes to public procurement contracts and on premature termination of such contracts. The progressive computerization of public procurement is expected to alleviate formal and bureaucratic obstacles.},
