Professionals from the Bratislavské centrum služieb assist municipal budgetary and contributory organizations in the following areas.
We will provide you with the necessary suppliers
If you’ve ever been responsible for public procurement, you definitely know that there are less demanding bureaucratic tasks in the world. That’s why we are here to help you navigate through the entire maze of bureaucracy and emerge not only with your mental health intact but also with the most suitable supplier for your specific purchase.
In the public procurement section, we primarily deal with purchases. We ensure that your municipal organization purchases what it needs for its operation and development – as economically and efficiently as possible. One of the solutions we implement to achieve the above-mentioned goals is the centralization of purchases, which increases negotiating power with suppliers, achieves economies of scale, enhances transparency, and ultimately allows the application of secondary objectives in public procurement – such as green, social, and innovative aspects.
To ensure that purchases comply with the current version of the Public Procurement Act (which is constantly changing), we regularly monitor methodological and legislative changes. In addition to the latest laws, we are also experts in the supplier selection process. We can also assist you in finding and evaluating their work by providing references.
If you don’t have a clear idea of what you need for your purchase, we’ll be happy to help you find similar contracts or suppliers who can help you better define your needs.
Let’s talk about communication that you’ll enjoy
When it comes to managing a city, it’s not only about what it does for its residents but also about how they perceive these activities. Every city is also a brand, encompassing a set of associations that come to mind when people think about it.
Creating a brand that people will love doesn’t have to be limited to Bratislava itself; it can also extend to your municipal organization. Our marketing department can help you achieve this goal, utilizing a wide range of modern tools at our disposal.
Within the marketing and communication section, we’re here to assist you with graphic design, copywriting, website creation, posters, social media management, and content creation. Additionally, we can design a visual identity that reflects the essence of your organization or devise a creative campaign to target your chosen audience. PR activities and other efforts contributing to building a positive brand image are also part of our marketing services. Once the creative outputs are conceived and created, the next step is to deploy them across specific media channels based on a predefined media plan.
If you’re tired of the same old approach and want to elevate your communication to a new level, let’s discuss it together.
We’ll take care of everything so you don’t have to worry
Not only in public spaces but also in building management, if nobody properly takes care of the surrounding environment, things can quickly spiral out of control. Each of us has probably had enough opportunities to see firsthand how it can turn out…
That’s why the Facility Management section is here—to ensure that nothing like that happens. We take care to keep buildings and facilities in good condition and functioning as they should. Our work reflects in the daily life of everyone who works or otherwise uses a specific facility.

Of course, an important part of our work is to be environmentally friendly. We’ll gladly help you create and implement environmental plans relying on renewable energy sources, thereby reducing emissions from your facility together.
We’ll help you survive the final settlement
Whether it’s a large or small company, association, or trading company, the economic environment is full of various entities. Similarly, our municipal organizations are also extremely diverse.
Like other organizations, municipal entities are connected by one essential thing – in order for their basic operations to be possible, they must manage their finances. The condition for this financial management is the preparation of a financial plan, namely a budget, which covers all the money needed to ensure activities, address emergencies, or seek new solutions to improve the lives of the capital city’s residents.
Everything that is purchased, ordered, used, or sold needs to be settled at the end of the day. And this is where our finance department enters the whole process, as it is well-versed in this area. The essence of our work is to ensure that everything is set up correctly in accordance with regulations and laws, well-documented, and easily auditable.
Our goal is to help you make the right and efficient decisions thanks to orderliness in your finances. Leave the accounts to us, and you better focus on what matters most to you.
With us, you’ll always be in the right
If you’re regularly swamped with long, paper-printed texts that you can’t understand even after reading them three times, you’ll likely benefit from the assistance of our legal department.
We’ll keep you informed about all the latest laws and amendments concerning public administration that you’ll need in your organization. Additionally, we can help you draft and archive contracts, agreements, or opinions, as well as handle various complaints and suggestions from the residents of the capital city.

With us, HR will be a game where you come out on top
Quality job applicants are like scarce goods, and every organization wants to grab the best ones. To ensure that happens for you, among other things, you need a professionally established HR process.
This process starts with sourcing candidates for open positions, organizing job interviews, and communicating with candidates before their onboarding. It’s crucial to ensure that new employees have the correct documentation and are added to information systems. Upon starting work, we’ll set up their attendance, calculate their salaries, benefits, and take care of them while they’re part of the organization. If, for any reason, the time comes for them to leave, we’ll bid them farewell.
In the HR department, we simply ensure that your employees have everything they need. In addition to them, we also focus on team leaders, which contributes to the smooth operation of the organization as a whole. To ensure everything runs smoothly, we also assist you in resolving conflicts and problems.
When we’re not focused on hiring, we’re preparing guidelines, manuals, and procedures in our field. Since we aim to constantly move forward, we support changes and establish training programs.
If you ever need our assistance within your organization, we’re here for you. And we promise not to ask you where you see yourself in ten years.
We won’t promise not to ask you if you’ve tried restarting it
There are few professions nowadays that can do without working on a computer. And there are few people who aren’t annoyed when something on that computer constantly doesn’t work.
That’s why we have our IT department, which will not only help you solve problems but also prevent them. However, IT isn’t just about computer issues, malfunctioning printers, boosting Wi-Fi signals, or asking, ‘Have you tried restarting it?’ Our IT section also has more ambitious goals…
The first is proactive care, which means knowing not only about everything that’s happening right now but also being able to predict and influence it to some extent. We aim to reduce the likelihood of unpleasant surprises and expedite the resolution of any potential consequences.
Money doesn’t fall from the sky, but it can be obtained
Just as in a person’s life, nothing in the life of a city comes for free. Every municipal organization knows well that it must make the most of what it has available. However, funds from the municipal budget don’t have to be the only source from which it draws when striving to improve the quality of life for the capital city’s residents.
In addition to these funds, municipal organizations can implement their plans through various projects, international grant programs, or private contributions. To help you tackle these complex tasks, our external financing department is here.
Securing financing requires actively seeking opportunities not only domestically but often also abroad. This involves offering and establishing possible collaborations, processing various requests and related documentation, and keeping records of these plans and acquired projects. Lastly, it’s important to remember that periodic reports on the successes and individual milestones of project implementation are submitted to the funding provider.
Despite each grant typically having clearly defined rules, external financing is like a living organism. We’re here to help you tame and train it so that you don’t have to worry about it slipping out of your grasp.
