Abstract

Public procurement is used, as it must play a major role in the social economy, enabling activation of social economy organizations in an environment characterized by competitiveness and economic efficiency. Debates about the socially responsible public procurement debates have intensified in the context of adopting the new legislative package on European public procurement. Our research demonstrated the need for implementation of measures for the increase in social responsibility of the public procurement in Romania.
