European Union Procurement Directives

The European Union Procurement Directives are rules that ensure public sector organizations in EU member states buy goods and services in a fair, transparent, and competitive manner. These directives aim to promote free trade, ensure equal access for suppliers, and prevent corruption. They set out procedures for advertising contracts, evaluating bids, and awarding contracts, ensuring that taxpayer money is spent wisely. By following these rules, public bodies can foster innovation, support small businesses, and achieve better value for money while complying with legal standards and promoting economic growth across the EU.
