This article analyzes the issues related to the termination of public procurement contracts, their legal mechanisms, and consequences. The author examines the current procedures and normative-legal framework governing the termination of such contracts in the field of public procurement and identifies existing problems. In particular, it is noted that the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On Public Procurement” does not clearly define the grounds for contract termination, which leads to various interpretations and disputes in practice. The article also studies the experience of foreign countries — the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, and Germany — and proposes recommendations for improving national legislation. The author substantiates the need to prevent abuses by public customers in cases of unilateral contract termination, to protect the rights of contractors, and to ensure transparency in the process.
