S pristopom Republike Slovenije v EU je bilo treba sprejeti tudi pravna pravila, ki se nanašajo na postopke oddajanja javnih naročil v EU. Zaradi pravila nadustavnosti pravnega reda EU je treba urediti notranjo zakonodajo na področju javnih naročil, skladno z novimi direktivami na tem področju. EU je združila šest direktiv v dve novi direktivi. V skladu s težnjami po približanju EU je bilo treba urediti oddajanje javnih naročil tudi v nacionalni zakonodaji. Prispevek obravnava spremembe na področju javnega naročanja v skladu z novimi zakoni. Nadzor nad postopki oddajanja javnih naročil je eden od elementov upoštevanja zakonitosti oddajanja javnih naročil. Notranji nadzor se izvaja prek notranjih revizorjev, ki v podjetju revidirajo postopke oddajanja javnih naročil ter ugotavljajo upoštevanje načela gospodarnosti in učinkovitosti na ravni podjetja, zunanji nadzor pa prek revizije postopkov oddajanja javnega naročila in odločitev Državne revizijske komisije. Državna revizijska komisija lahko izvaja nadzor nad javnimi naročili le na podlagi zahtevka aktivno legitimirane stranke in v mejah danega zahtevka.

With the accession to the EU, the Republic of Slovenia had to accept EU rules regarding public procurement procedures. Due to the principle of supremacy of acquis communautaire, the Republic of Slovenia was forced to adapt its internal legislation regarding public procurement to the new EU Directives in that particular field. EU united six former EU Directives into two new ones. In accordance with harmonization efforts within the EU, they were transposed into internal legislation accordingly. One of the major elements in considering the legality principle of public procurement is the supervision of public procurement procedures. Internal supervision is executed by internal auditors who have to verify public procurement procedures and assess the application of economy and efficiency principles at the corporate level, while external supervision is performed by the revision of public procurement procedures and decisions of the National Revision Commission. The National Revision Commission, however, may supervise public procurement procedures only upon request of the parties entitled to sue and within the limits of such request. This Article deals with the changes in the field of public procurement after the new legislation has been adopted in the Republic of Slovenia.
