This thesis is concerned with public procurement system in Ukraine. The aim of this thesis is to analyze the system with a focus on the risks, which are facing foreign applicants in public procurement. The paper presents the various elements of the procurement system: Creating and implementation of public procurement policy, regulation of public procurement; authorization and approval of procurement; realization of public procurement; feedback. In the thesis, a case study with the company Kvazar Plus has been realized. This company has great experience with the Ukrainian procurement. The results of the case study have been compared with the analysis of the World Bank. Case study confirmed some of the problems of the procurement system: Poor communication of the Ministry of Economy as the responsible body, hasty selection procedures due to the late receipt of funds into the budget, frequent delays of payments to candidates, lenghty provision of necessary documents, bank guarantee, previously often needed, strong competitive manufacturers with lower quality but cheaper goods and often disadvantageous contract terms for applicants. Other challenges for the candidate are: frequent change of legislation, public procurement duty of state enterprises, lobbying of the Ukrainian competition, pre-selected winner of some contracts and corrupt customs administration, which complicates and delays the delivery of goods to Ukraine.
