Conclusions of the Online Seminar “Public Procurement in the EU: the road forward”

On 8 October 2020, EBSA’s Online Seminar on “Public Procurement in the EU: the road forward” set the scene for an in-depth analysis of the 2014 Public Procurement Package’s implementation by a representative from the Commission (Anna Lupi, Unit G1, DG Grow) and authors of the European (Michael Rainey, partner at Addleshaw Goddard), German (Jan Bonhage, partner at Hengeller Mueller) and Spanish (José Alberto Navarro, partner at Uría Menéndez) chapters of “The Government Procurement Review”. It was also an occasion to gather success stories in the procurement of business services from the Catalan Government (Mercè Corretja, Director General for Public Procurement) as well as from the consulting engineering (Jaap de Koning, President of EFCA’s Internal Market Committee) and private security sectors (Li Jansson and Andreas Gyllestrand, Säkerhetsföretagen).
