Abstract:  
           
          Public procurement law in Poland is applied during the construction 
          of civil structures financed from public funds. Provisions 
          related to this law often change, which makes their application 
          difficult. 
          The article describes public procurement procedures in the field of construction 
          in Poland which is limited to two basic modes of tender. The 
          most common mistakes made by customers related to the implementation 
          of this procedure had also been presented. 
          The author analyzed procedures related to public procurement in Poland. 
          She also met with and conducted interviews with a few representatives 
          of Polish gminas responsible for the organization and conduct of 
          construction tenders. The aim of these interviews was to discover problems 
          related to the implementation of public procurement procedures 
          and the most common mistakes that had been made. Furthermore, the 
          author had analyzed the available tender documentation taking into account 
          problematic documents. 
          The tender procedure had been clearly presented in the article in points 
          and table listings. Aspects pertaining to problems and the reasons why 
          mistakes had been made by customers had also been presented. These 
          mistakes are mainly related to the subject of order, concern the conditions 
          of participation in the proceedings and the specification of essential 
          terms and conditions of the order. Consequences of these mistakes 
          may be appeals and annulment of proceedings.
