Description The paper analyses, how selected economic criteria of decision-making process (such as public service characteristic, public service providing costs, public service demand) influence the choice of (1) the public services provider and (2) public services financing method. The contribution is based on the hypothesis that any public service (both collective and toll good) guaranteed by the public authority (local government) could be provided by the private organisation as well. Therefore the choice of relevant provider is logically focused on choosing the one who will guarantee better service quality and cost effectiveness (in other words, the better value for money). The aim of this paper is to specify basic principles which the public service guarantor (local government) should respect during the decision-making process.This model is subsequently being tested for concrete municipal public services.
