Public Procurement & Competitive Tendering
Authorities, public law entities and certain utilities operators are required to follow public procurement rules when awarding contracts for works, supplies, services or concessions.
When public procurement rules do not apply, authorities and public law entities must respect general principles in relation to transparency and competitive tendering when entering arrangements with third parties.
Likewise, private sector operators bidding for public contracts using local, EU or international public procurement procedures should consider the complex set of rules and related risks of non-compliance.
