See the current version of the guidelines, both in Czech and English versions. Please, send us your comments in writing to ihavlova@amcham.cz by June 1. As the task force is run under the Platform for the Transparent Public Tenders, all its meetings will be held in Czech language and the Czech version of the materials would prevail.
