LTViešojo pirkimo sutarties negaliojimas yra viena iš naujausiai reglamentuojamų tiekėjo teisių gynimo priemonių pagal ES ir Lietuvos viešųjų pirkimų teisę. Nepaisant to, Lietuvos teismų praktikoje ši priemonė taikoma seniai. Nacionaliniai teismai išplėtojo būtinąsias sąlygas, kurios privalomos siekiant pripažinti tiek patį viešąjį pirkimą, tiek jo pagrindu sudarytą sutartį neteisėtais. Įtvirtinus norminį reguliavimą teisės aktuose, nacionaliniams teismams kyla būtinybė reaguoti į kintamą teisinę aplinką ir pritaikyti jų suformuotus minėtos teisių gynimo priemonės taikymo reikalavimus prie naujų teisės aktuose įtvirtintų kriterijų. Šiam tikslui įgyvendinti yra būtinas esamos nacionalinės teismų praktikos minėtoje srityje tyrimas ir jos vertinimas. Šie uždaviniai yra šios publikacijos objektas.

ENThe main focus of the article is the development of ineffectiveness of a public contract as a remedy in public procurement in Lithuanian case-law. It is important to note that this remedy has been applied in Lithuanian legal practice for many years already even before its inclusion into the EC Directives and Lithuanian law on public procurement. Thus, the concept that has been alien to most of EC Member States national jurisdictions has been quite common in Lithuanian legal practice for a long time. However, there are many challenges for Lithuanian courts as they must adjust the practice they have been applying to a new legal environment that has changed. Thus, the scholar analysis of previously applied legal conditions is important and needed to find out what guidelines must be drawn for the future Lithuanian case-law which has to be implemented in the light of new EC and national legal regulation. The article contains two parts. In the first one the authors examine mainly the case-law of Lithuanian Supreme Court on ineffectiveness itself and general as well as particular legal conditions for its application. Besides, there is a proper focus on the evolution of the obligatory criteria of ineffectiveness according to judge-made law. The second part focuses on the exception of this doctrine, in particular discussing the legal conditions when a public contract might or must be "saved" even if it has been awarded in breach of EC or Lithuanian public procurement law.It has to be mentioned that this article does not provide analysis of EC Directives or Lithuanian public procurement law except in cases where it is needed for the whole context of the text. At the end of the article the authors provide the conclusions based on scholar analysis. The article was prepared by making references mainly to rich Lithuanian case-law. Also legal literature was used to make the analysis relevant and proper. [From the publication]
