abstract = {The present publication will comprise observations of the authors, based on practical experience, concerning the pragmatic aspects of implementation of evaluation processes in various areas of activity of the territorial self-government units. The authors will approach both the objectives the evaluators are usually faced with and the areas in which the evaluation is or might be applied. Setting the required effects of evaluation against the capacity of the public sector, and considering the legal framework of the territorial self-government units, the authors will indicate the ways evaluation may be conducted as well as – which is even more essential – the complications resulting from the methods adopted. First of all, the procedural aspect of acquisition of the evaluation service will be analysed, with special consideration to procedures, conditions and criteria required by the public procurement law and the related bylaws. Methods of reaching the evaluation effects by the territorial self-government units, alternative to the tendering procedures, will be also considered.
	On the basis of the above considerations, the authors will develop two groups of conclusions. Statutory ones, connected with the methods of acquisition of this service which are best adjusted to the objectives set, and general ones, covering the proposals of broader application of evaluation in the public sector management process.},
