Entities that receive funds or other performance, the subject of which is property, rights to property or other property rights from public sources above the limit established by law, as well as other persons designated by law, are obliged to enrol or register pursuant to Act No. 315/2016 Coll. on the Registry of Public Sector Partners and on Amendment and Supplementation to Certain Acts (hereinafter referred to as the Act on the Registry of Public Sector Partners) to the Register of Public Sector Partners, whereby the legislation subsequently designates these entities as public sector partners with clearly defined legal obligations.
Without registration in the Register of Public Sector Partners, the public sector partner will not have access to public sources and will not be able to successfully bid for them.
However, registration in the Register of Public Sector Partners, as well as the fulfilment of other related legal obligations, must be ensured by a so-called authorised person under the law, which can only be a lawyer, notary, bank, branch of a foreign bank, auditor or tax advisor with its registered office or place of business in the Slovak Republic.
In the course of our practice, we have carried out registrations for more than 1,900 Slovak and foreign entities and we regularly verify more than 650 of them.
