European Union Public Procurement Directive

The European Union Public Procurement Directive sets rules to ensure fair, transparent, and competitive processes when public authorities (like governments or hospitals) purchase goods and services across EU countries. It aims to create a level playing field for businesses, prevent corruption, and promote value for money. The directive standardizes procedures, encourages sustainable practices, and ensures that companies of all sizes can compete fairly, making it easier for public entities to acquire quality goods and services efficiently across member states.
