The author discusses the Polish system of public procurement. She describes the institutions collecting data concerning public procurement, means of sharing this data with the citizens and legislation regulating this issue. The author considers whether the entry into force of an entirely new Act on Public Procurement, which came into force on 1st January 2021, will affect the manner of reporting on the functioning of the procurement system based primarily on the annual report about the conducted contract award procedures prepared by the contracting authority. Particular attention is paid to the collection of data on taking into account social aspects in public procurement.
