Abstract: Over the last 30 years, public procurement systems worldwide have undergone reforms that have tried to increase the efficiency of using public funds, increase transparency, reduce the duration of procurement procedures, implement electronic procurement, etc. These reforms implemented under constant public pressure are also justified by the fact that public procurement represents an important tool for achieving a number of governmental objectives. In this context, the continuous improvement of public procurement systems is of particular importance, due to the very large amounts spent each year and the potential benefits that can be obtained. This research analyzes the most important shortcomings of the Romanian public procurement system and identifies a number of solutions to improve it. The study also presents the results of a survey among Romanian purchasers, which analyzes a number of issues such as: the difficulty of procurement procedures, the frequency of legislative changes, the size of legislative mismatches, the use of electronic procurement, the use of white lists and black lists , the centralization of procurement, solutions to increase the quality of public procurement, etc.
