In this article, the authors pointed out the way of emergence and consolidation of public procurement procedures in Ukrainian law. Scientific works devoted to the consideration of public procurement in various branches of Ukrainian law have been generalized. The main conceptual contradictions between the procurement contract and the civil law contract have been established and characterized. The main (invariable) conditions of public procurement for the entire existence of the independent legal system of Ukraine have been proposed. The generalized concept of the procurement contract has been inferred. A critical analysis of the procurement contract has been made from the viewpoint of understanding and essential terms of the general civil contract.
