New procurement directives published in Official Journal
The new public procurement directives have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
- Details
The move means that the directives will come into force 20 days after the date of publication (28 March).
The relevant directives, which can be viewed here, are:
- Directive 2014/23/EU on the award of concession contracts;
- Directive 2014/24/EU on public procurement (and repealing Directive 2004/18/EC);
- Directive 2014/25/EU on procurement by entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors (and repealing Directive 2004//17/EC).
Member states are given two years to implement the directives, although the Cabinet Office has indicated that it will implement them much sooner.
