Postopek izbire koncesionarja v Zakonu o nekaterih koncesijskih pogodbah (ZNKP) sledi primerljivemu poglavju Direktive EU o koncesijah. Postopek podelitve koncesije lahko v praksi razumemo ob smiselni uporabi institutov odprtega postopka, toda hkrati zavedajoč se, da gre za postopek, ki naj bo bistveno manj formaliziran, kot je postopek javnega naročila. Podobno stališče glede postopka podelitve koncesije – tako imenovano stališče o prednosti preglednosti pred formalnostjo – je sicer zavzelo že Sodišče EU v zadevi Comune di Ancona proti Regione Marche leta 2013. Zato je tudi glede obveznega zagotavljanja preglednosti treba ugotoviti, da je ureditev v ZNKP na tem področju, vsaj glede faze oddaje koncesije, prožnejša od ureditve v pravilih o javnem naročanju.

The procedure for selecting the concessionaire in Slovenian Certain Concession Contracts Act follows a comparatively conceptual chapter in the EU Concessions Directive. In practice, the procedure for granting a concession can be understood in a meaningful application of the (public procurement) open procedure, but at the same time one has to be aware that it is considerably less formalised procedure than a public procurement procedure. A similar position on the concession award procedure, e.g. on the preference of transparency before formalities, has already been taken up by the EU Court of Justice in case Comune di Ancona v Regione Marche in 2013. Therefore, with regard to mandatory transparency, it should be noted that the regulation in the Certain Concession Contracts Act in this area, at least in terms of the concession award phase, is more flexible than the regulation in the rules on public procurement.
