Is there a Swiss Approach towards Sustainable Public Procurement'
- Abstract: I. Introduction
  On a general note, it is important to highlight that
  the existence of a bilateral agreement between the
  European Union (at the time the European Community)
  and the Swiss Confederation on certain
  aspects of government procurement1 does not
  mean that EU Public Procurement Directives are
  relevant for the legal framework of Swiss public
  procurement. Rather, the most significant international
  treaty for Switzerland is, by far, the World

Sustainable Public Procurement in Portugal – State of the Art and Future Prospects
- Abstract: I. Introduction
  This report comments on the most relevant issues
  of Sustainable Public Procurement (“SPP”) in the
  Portuguese legal system, looking in particular at the
  social and environmental criteria used in the context
  of public procurement.1 Generally speaking, in
  Portugal, “social” criteria have not, so far, achieved
  the success that the “environmental” criteria have
  known, which, although relatively recent, has

Evolving CJEU Jurisprudence: Balancing Sustainability Considerations with the Requirements of ...
- Abstract: In the recent North Holland case, the Advocate General noted that the Court was
  ‘faced with the challenge of finding a balance between the requirements of the internal
  market and environmental and social concerns, without however ignoring the practical
  requirements of award procedures’. This tightrope walk is an interesting one to explore.
  The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has on several occasions been asked
  to consider situations where contracting

Helping Public Procurement Go Green: The Role of International Organisations
- Abstract: Greening public procurement involves more than just changes in the legislation, it
  requires changes in procurement practices. Three issues appear to be particularly
  significant: The greening of technical specifications, the development of life-cycle
  methodologies, and, at the organisational level, training of public officials. International
  organisations, and notably UNEP, UNOPS, ILO and ITC-ILO, have played and are playing
  a relevant role here. Hel

The Impact of the Revised WTO Government Procurement Agreement on the EU Procurement Rules from ...
- Abstract: Although public procurement is increasingly used to contribute to sustainable development
  goals and the European Union has repeatedly recognised its importance as a tool
  for implementing specific social and environmental objectives, EU public procurement
  rules are often unclear about how to integrate sustainability criteria into the procurement
  process. The on-going review of the EU public procurement Directives provides an
  opportunity for lawmakers to clarify the leg

Sustainable Public Procurement and the Single Market – Is There a Conflict of Interest'
- Abstract: Sustainable public procurement indicates that procurement is about more than just
  saving money. Other important interests such as social and environmental considerations
  can be promoted through public procurement. Thus, the Member States may use
  their purchasing power to procure goods and services that foster innovation, respect the
  environment and combat climate change while improving employment, public health
  and social conditions. However, the objective of the proc

Sustainable Public Procurement: Life-Cycle Costing in the New EU Directive Proposal
- Abstract: The paper discusses a new tool to be used in public procurement by contracting authorities,
  namely Life-Cycle Costing (LCC), in light of the efforts made at the EU level to
  promote green and sustainable public procurement. The authors analyse the provisions
  concerning life-cycle costing comprised in the proposal of the European Commission for
  the new Public Procurement Directives. Several obstacles regarding the implementation
  of life-cycle costing are discussed along

The Link to the Subject-Matter of the Contract in Green and Social Procurement
- Abstract: Since the European Court of Justice’s 1988 judgment in Beentjes recognising the possibility
  to include social criteria in public procurement, the case law and legislation on
  references to social and environmental concerns in this area have evolved substantially.
  In May 2012, almost ten years after its latest important ruling on this issue, the Court
  handed down its judgment in European Commission v Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The Power of Purchase: Addressing Sustainability through Public Procurement
- Abstract: This article focuses on sustainable development and public procurement and reflects
  on the significance of questioning the goals sustainable public procurement seeks to
  achieve. While it is recognised that developing appropriate legal frameworks and
  regulatory tools for environmental, social and economic quality assurance is important,
  achieving sustainable procurement nevertheless remains political. With the forthcoming
  adoption of new European Union Public Procureme

  Procurement & Public Private Partnership Law
  Review devoted to sustainable procurement, for
  which I had the honour to be invited to act as guest

Defence Procurement: The ECJ Keeps its Ground on “Dual Use” Products
- Abstract: Practical appliance of the exemptions relating to defence purchases that require the protection
  of the essential interest of the national security and therefore may be brought
  outside the scope of the EU public procurement directives gives rise to numerous legal
  problems. The key condition of the exemption is the specifically military purposes of
  the product, which is hard to determine in case of products of a possible “dual use” or
  “mixed use” – not only as

The ECJ Sets Precedent on What Should Be Considered Sufficient Examination of Rejected Bidders
- Abstract: In its Judgment of 29 November 2011 in Case C-235/11 P Evropaïki Dynamiki v Commission
  (CITL/CR), the Court of Justice (ECJ) laid precedent on what should be considered
  sufficient examination of rejected bidders within established public procurement
  procedures. The Evropaïki Dynamiki (CITL/CR) Judgment was delivered on the basis of
  Article 100(2) of Council Regulation1 (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 and on the understanding
  of Article 149(2) and (3) of the Implementing

Delivering Support to SMEs in a Business- Friendly Way: The Seed Fund

  an interesting scheme implementing venture capital support for small and mediumsized
  enterprises (SMEs) in the form of a quasi-PPP. During its preparation phase, the
  facilitator of the project has faced numerous legal challenges. Mainly, it was the first
  time that public procurement and State aid rules were combined with financial market

The Legal Framework for Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in Nigeria: Untangling the Complex Web.
- Abstract: Any investor coming into a country would like to see a predictable, enabling and welldefined
  regulatory environment. Despite having in place a number of laws regulating
  PPPs, the country is yet to enjoy the influx of foreign direct investments to develop its
  infrastructure. The reason for this is that there is a multitude and conflicting web of laws
  regulating PPPs in Nigeria. There are also a host of institutions trying to regulate the
  same transactions this has led

Legal Aspects of Public Private Innovation
- Abstract: This article analyses some of the legal issues that may arise from Public Private
  Innovation projects (PPI) with regard to State aid rules. The analysis reveals that public
  procurement is a not unproblematic means of compliance. Further, it is shown that the
  application of State aid law depends to a large extent on the way a PPI is organised and
  operated. The contract that forms the basis for a PPI is hence crucial to compliance with
  State aid law. For this reason, th

International Approaches to Conflicts of Interest in Public Procurement: A Comparative Review
- Abstract: This Article examines the current regulatory treatment of conflicts of interest and proposed
  changes to the public procurement regimes of the United States and the European
  Union. It suggests that a principal-agent model may be a useful tool for thinking about
  conflicts of interest and formulating policies capable of mitigating the risks posed by
  them to the integrity and legitimacy of public procurement I. Introduction

Negotiated Procedures Overrated' Evidence from France Questions the Commission’s Approach in ...
- Abstract: The new European legislative proposals on public procurement suggest introducing
  the unconditional possibility for public buyers to use negotiated procedures with publication.
  Such procedures have been available to French public buyers for contracts up to
  €5 million since 2004. We use an original and comprehensive database from Paris
  Habitat-OPH, the largest social housing constructor in Europe, to empirically assess the
  impact of negotiated procedures on price. Aft

Regulatory Trends in Public Procurement at the EU Level
- Abstract: Within 2013, the European Union will have seen
  another set of reforms to the EU Public Procurement
  framework. These reforms aim at linking the
  Euro 2020 Strategy and public procurement from a
  macro-perspective which focuses on growth and
  competitiveness. The significance of liberalised and
  integrated public procurement as an essential component
  of the Single Market is well documented.1
