Public Procurement Directive

The Public Procurement Directive is a set of rules established by the European Union to guide how public authorities purchase goods and services. Its aim is to ensure transparency, fairness, and competition in the procurement process. The directive helps prevent corruption, promotes efficient use of public funds, and encourages participation from businesses, both large and small. By standardizing procedures across member states, it facilitates cross-border procurement and supports the EU's internal market, allowing public bodies to obtain quality goods and services while contributing to economic growth and innovation.
