The government is hopefully making good progress

As a small business owner, it was impossible for me to submit bids for public tenders for even the smallest of tenders because of ludicrous requirements under the old regime as the ones stated in the article. The most frequent requirement is for balance sheets to be in the hundreds of millions of koruna just to supply anti-virus software licenses. This was obviously done in order to exclude 99% of bidders. I think the author is correct in saying that there are armies of lawyers across the country trying to find loopholes in the new regulations to continue restricting potential bidders. It should be indeed interesting to see how future bid requirements are structured.
