Negotiated Procedure Tenders Without Notice, the Risk of Corruption, and Türkiye's Position in the International Rankings

25 March 2025

The negotiated procedure is a tender procedure that may be used in the cases specified by Public Procurement Law No. 4734. However, unlike the open procedure, it is not a method in which all tenderers may submit a tender. In a negotiated procedure conducted without notice in particular, only tenderers invited by the contracting authority, numbering not fewer than three, may participate. Firms that are not invited have no right to obtain the tender documents, to participate in the tender or to lodge an appeal with the Public Procurement Authority.
