When purchasing goods and services, government bodies and bodies with public authority must comply with certain regulations and rules, and this set of regulations and rules is called public procurement. Given that the aforementioned bodies do not acquire financial resources from independent activities, but are financed with funds from the state budget, which consists of public funds, public procurement has the role of ensuring the justified spending of this money in an economically prescribed manner. The role of the state in public procurement procedures is significant, given that almost all public functions that are important for its operation are carried out through public procurement, that is, goods and services are procured and works that are important for the operation of the state are provided. The introduction of e-public procurement into the public procurement process significantly simplified and accelerated public procurement. It can be said with certainty that both the ordering parties and the business entities applying have benefited from this. With the introduction of the obligation to publish public procurement electronically in the Electronic Public Procurement Notice in "Narodne novine", which resulted from the then valid Public Procurement Act, a great step forward was made in the process of conducting public procurement. The paper presents the process of implementing public procurement on the example of the utility company Unikom d.o.o. which is predominantly owned by the City of Osijek. The company performs its priority task by providing quality services to the citizens of the City of Osijek as an organized urban environment. Every year, it adopts a Procurement Plan in accordance with the Law on Public Procurement and plans the procurement of goods, services and assignment of works. Special attention in the paper is given to the example of the implementation of an open public procurement procedure of low value in the case of the procurement of waste separation and disposal containers carried out by the company Unikom d.o.o. as a public contracting authority
