Public Procurement at EIPA

Public Procurement is a key policy area for the proper functioning of the internal market, accounting for 14% of the EU GDP.
The 2014 Public Procurement Directives were explicitly aimed at increasing access to procurement markets; improving transparency, integrity, and data; boosting the digital transformation, and becoming the tool for the implementation of green social and innovative policies in Member States. 
The European Commission is recommending the overall improvement of the professional skills and competences of the people conducting public procurement at all levels of government.

Our work for the EU

EIPA supports the Commission’s efforts through its training and research, to assist in avoiding the most common errors in public procurement, such as non-respect of general principles, wrong selection of tendering procedures, a need to substantially modify the contract or lack of risk prevention. We can also help in making your public procurement strategic, ensuring that green, social, and innovation considerations are taken into account and evaluated.

"Very friendly atmosphere encouraging to ask questions and seek clarifications. Presentations were very informative. Dedicated course for EU procurement in EU Institutions is highly desired!"
