Public procurement in the EU
Public procurement concerns the process of public authorities purchasing goods, services, or works. EU rules aim at ensuring fair competition and transparency in public tenders, promoting efficiency and innovation. These rules generally apply to contracts above certain value thresholds, while EU Member States’ rules apply to lower-value contracts (although the EU principles of transparency and equal treatment are always apply).
The EU offers various tools and resources related to public procurement, including the Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) platform, which is an online tool that hosts the online version of the Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union, where all public tenders above specific contract values must be published.
