Abstract

Kamu alımlarının klasik fonksiyonu, kamu kurumlarının ihtiyaçlarının piyasadan temin edilmesidir. Ancak sosyal devlet anlayışı ve sürdürülebilirlik yaklaşımları, kamu alımlarına yenilikçi bakış açıları kazandırmıştır. Satın alma süreçlerinde cinsiyete duyarlı ihtiyaçların göz önünde bulundurulması, kadın ve erkekler arasında eşit koşulların oluşturulması, mevcut ekonomik eşitsizliklerin azaltılmasına yönelik destekleyici rol üstlenilmesi ve sosyal açıdan sorumlu alım yöntemlerinin benimsenmesi bu noktada atılan önemli adımlar arasında yer almaktadır. Türk kamu alımları mevzuatına bakıldığında henüz bu konularla ilgili somut bir adımın atılmadığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türk kamu alımları mevzuatı çerçevesinde cinsiyete duyarlı kamu alımları yaklaşımının uygulanabilirliğinin incelenmesidir. Bu kapsamda Anayasada yer alan eşitlik ilkesi ve Kamu İhale Kanunu içerisinde eşitlik ilkesinin istisnaları olarak değerlendirilen uygulamalardan hareketle mevzuata yenilikçi bir bakış açısı kazandırılmasına yönelik değerlendirmelerde bulunulmuştur.

Can Gender-Responsive Public Procurement Approach be Incorporated into Public Procurement Law?

Abstract

The basic function of public procurement is to supply the requirements of public institutions on the market. However, the social state idea and sustainable approach bring innovative opinion of public procurement. Considering gender-responsive needs in purchasing processes, creating equal conditions between women and men, assuming a supportive role in reducing existing economic inequalities methods are among the important steps taken at this point. Considering the Türkiye public procurement legislation, it can be seen that no concrete steps have been taken on the issues. The aim of this article is to analyse the applicability of the gender-responsive public procurement approach within the framework of Türkiye public procurement legislation. In this context, evaluations have been made to bring an innovative perspective to the legislation, based on the principle of equality in the Constitution and the practices considered exceptions to the principle of equality in the Public Procurement Law.
