Public Contract Directive

The Public Contract Directive is a set of European Union rules that standardize how government and public sector organizations in member countries buy goods and services. Its goal is to ensure that these public purchases are transparent, fair, and non-discriminatory, fostering competition and efficiency. By establishing common procedures and criteria, the Directive helps prevent favoritism and corruption, while making it easier for businesses across Europe to participate in public procurement processes. Overall, it promotes open and accountable procurement practices within the EU to benefit both public entities and suppliers.
