7/17/2026

Our partner Karel Masopust appeared as a guest on the latest episode of the Veřejné zakázky podcast to address one of the most pressing challenges in public procurement: the legal possibilities of changing suppliers during the execution of a contract.
The interview provides key legal context before contrasting prepared versus unprepared scenarios. Karel highlights how pre-reserved step-in clauses and Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) can streamline the process for both contracting authorities and suppliers when a change becomes necessary. Additionally, he addresses legal succession during both the procurement procedure and contract execution, emphasizing risk management in high-stakes areas like construction.
