It will help to complete the single market for public procurement, which accounts for around 15 per cent of the EU\u2019s GDP.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/pexels-tima-miroshnichenko-5439449-scaled.jpg\" width=\"540\" height=\"360\" \/><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\" xml:lang=\"es\" data-contrast=\"auto\">Public procurement is vital both for the European economy and for citizens\u2019 daily lives, ranging from transport, infrastructure and energy systems to schools and healthcare services. The proposal is expected to generate significant annual administrative savings of \u20ac650 million, resulting from a reduction in the administrative burden of \u20ac80 million for public procurers and \u20ac570 million for economic operators.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><strong><span xml:lang=\"es\" data-contrast=\"auto\">The proposed Regulation on public procurement builds on the strengths of the single market in four key ways.<\/span><span xml:lang=\"es\" data-contrast=\"auto\">\u202f\u202f<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><strong><span xml:lang=\"es\" data-contrast=\"auto\">Simpler and clearer rules<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\" xml:lang=\"es\" data-contrast=\"auto\">The proposed Public Procurement Regulation simplifies and clarifies the rules by consolidating the three existing public procurement Directives and the public procurement provisions currently scattered across sector-specific legislation into a single, directly applicable Regulation. This will create a more coherent and predictable public procurement framework, reducing complexity, the administrative burden and inconsistencies in the way the rules are applied, with three procedures instead of the current five. It will reduce the complexity and inconsistency arising from separate legislative acts and divergent national transposition choices.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\" xml:lang=\"es\" data-contrast=\"auto\">The new framework offers public purchasers greater flexibility, allowing them to negotiate with the tenderer during the procedures. It encourages better market consultation, simplifies administrative procedures and allows for negotiations, bringing public procurement closer to private-sector procurement. It also introduces an innovation procedure for the development and procurement of innovative solutions that are not yet available on the market.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><strong><span xml:lang=\"es\" data-contrast=\"auto\">A single platform for all procurement across the EU<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><span xml:lang=\"es\" data-contrast=\"auto\">The key to simplification and reducing the administrative burden is the creation of an integrated digital procurement market comprising interconnected and interoperable e-procurement platforms from the Member States.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><span xml:lang=\"es\" data-contrast=\"auto\">The digital market will simplify and facilitate procurement for public purchasers (for example, through the automatic verification of exclusion criteria). It will enable businesses to participate in public procurement procedures and submit tenders across the EU via any of the connected e-procurement platforms, in line with the\u00a0\u2018once-only\u2019 principle, thereby avoiding the repetition of requests for information and documentation. This will promote access to new business opportunities and increase the number of tenders received by public purchasers, maximising the potential of the single market.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><span xml:lang=\"es\" data-contrast=\"auto\">Furthermore, the digital marketplace will streamline data exchanges between Member States\u2019 e-procurement systems by establishing a unified framework for data management, thereby strengthening transparency, accountability and anti-fraud capabilities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><strong><span xml:lang=\"es\" data-contrast=\"auto\">Greater support for environmental, social and innovation objectives<\/span><\/strong><span xml:lang=\"es\" data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0\u202f<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><span xml:lang=\"es\" data-contrast=\"auto\">The proposal stipulates that the \u2018best value for money\u2019 (BVFM) approach should be the standard award method, with quality criteria accounting for at least 30 per cent (50 per cent for labour-intensive contracts), subject to a \u2018comply or explain\u2019 mechanism.\u00a0Contracting authorities may deviate from this approach if they explain how quality will otherwise be ensured, for example through minimum quality requirements.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><span xml:lang=\"es\" data-contrast=\"auto\">Public procurers will therefore have to systematically take into account not only price but also quality, including environmental, social, innovation, safety and resilience considerations, and \u2018European preferences\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><span xml:lang=\"es\" data-contrast=\"auto\">Public purchasers will have full discretion over which quality criteria to apply and in what proportion in individual procurement procedures, and the proposal<\/span><span xml:lang=\"es\" data-contrast=\"auto\">offers practical tools to support public purchasers in this regard.\u202f<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><strong><span xml:lang=\"es\" data-contrast=\"auto\">Greater security, resilience and strategic autonomy<\/span><\/strong><span xml:lang=\"es\" data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0\u202f<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><span xml:lang=\"es\" data-contrast=\"auto\">In line with the recommendations of the Draghi report,<\/span><span xml:lang=\"es\" data-contrast=\"auto\">the proposal reflects the growing geopolitical importance of public procurement.
