The EU is reviewing its public procurement framework, with reforms expected across areas including simplification, competition, SME participation, sustainability and digital procurement. The course examines the proposed changes and their practical implications in detail.
The reforms are still progressing through the EU legislative process, meaning implementation will depend on the final measures adopted and their timelines. The course will look at the latest position and what Irish organisations should be preparing for now.
Changes at EU level are likely to have important implications for Irish public procurement and contracting authorities. Exactly how these changes will operate in practice will depend on the final reforms and their implementation in Ireland.
Procurement thresholds and the wider rules governing when EU procurement requirements apply are an important consideration for contracting authorities. The course will examine the applicable framework and how forthcoming reforms may affect procurement planning and compliance.
Organisations should be aware of the direction of the reforms and consider where existing procurement procedures may eventually need to change. Our training provides practical guidance on the areas organisations should be reviewing and preparing for.
