This study indicates the basic advantages and threats related to the progressive electronicization of the national public procurement process. Historically, the electronicization of public procurement in the Polish legal system consisted in implementing three basic postulates in entities obliged to apply the Public Procurement Law. The first postulate concerned the publication of electronic notices. The effect of its implementation is a properly functioning public procurement portal, through which all ordering parties publish notices about orders in an electronic bulletin. The second postulate concerning the electronicization of public procurement proceedings concerned ensuring the availability of order documents (produced by the ordering party) in elec-
tronic form; these documents allow contractors to familiarize themselves with the description of the subject of the order or the terms of the order. As many years of practice show, these documents are generally correctly always placed on the ordering party’s
website. The third postulate still seems to be the most difficult to fully implement. It concerns ensuring fully electronic communication between the ordering party and contractors, at every stage of the procedure. The general idea of electronicization, and consequently: streamlining and accelerating public procurement proceedings, guided by the national legislator, undoubtedly deserves full approval. The new Public Procurement Law of 2019 is a response to the noticeable needs of economic participants and the requirements of EU law.
