The next EU procurement directives: Strategic insights before the texts go public

This session offers an opportunity to explore the forthcoming revision of EU public procurement directives and what these changes mean for contracting authorities, service providers and suppliers. Public procurement will no longer be simply a matter of compliance and cost-efficiency, it will be at the heart of strategic national and European priorities, from energy and infrastructure, defence and resilience, to space capabilities and supply-chain autonomy.

Join us for this session - a timely opportunity to position your organisation at the forefront of change, whether you are on the purchasing side or the tendering side.

What we will cover

• Drivers of the revision:
  Why the EU is reshaping its public procurement rules;
• Key expected updates:
  Simplification, strategic use of public procurement, EU preference, smarter award criteria;
• Sector-specific changes:
  Defense and security procurement, Industrial Accelerator Act;
• Country-specific implications:
  
  Key differences and practical considerations in the Netherlands and Belgium
• How contracting authorities and suppliers can prepare now:
  
  Practical guidance for contracting authorities and suppliers
