Public Contracts Directive

The Public Contracts Directive is a set of rules established by the European Union to govern how public sector organizations in member countries procure goods and services. It aims to ensure fairness, transparency, and competition in public contracting processes. This means that when government entities award contracts, they must follow certain guidelines to promote equal opportunities for businesses, prevent corruption, and make sure taxpayers’ money is spent effectively. By doing so, the directive helps create a level playing field for businesses and encourages better quality and value in public services.
