The article addresses the rules of access to documents generated within the framework of a competition conducted under the Public Procurement Law Act (PPL) and the relationship of these regulations to the Act on Access to Public Information. Th e paper points out that documentation concerning public procurement generally falls within the definition of public information, as it refers to the manner of managing public funds and executing public tasks. Particular attention, however, is devoted to Article 328 paragraph 3 of the PPL, which introduces separate rules for making competition entries and study papers available. As a special regulation, this provision limits access solely to awarded entries, respecting the copyrights of their creators; it cannot, however, be interpreted broadly to exclude the transparency of the entire competition documentation. The article also highlights that the entity obliged to examine requests for access to public information is always the contracting authority, rather than the competition jury, which merely performs an auxiliary function in the competition procedure.
