While
Public Procurement Law No. 4734 is the fundamental regulation for public
procurement of goods and services, Article 3 of the Law exempts many public
procurements from scope of the Law. However, Section about
exclusion/prohibition from tenders and penalties of the Law shall be applied in
excepted procurements too. As defined in Article 3/c, one of the exceptions of
Article 3 is tenders financed by international organizations. All these
exemption clauses have resulted in the co-application of two different
procurement laws by a hybrid administrative structure involving international
organizations as the EU and the World Bank and Turkish administrative
authorities for the prohibitions and sanctions in tenders. This administrative
process inevitably brings with various problems not anticipated by the legal
systems.
