The Committee on the Internal Market and\nConsumer Protection adopted an own-initiative report by Carlos\nCOELHO (EPP, PT) on the public procurement strategy\npackage.
\nAlmost four years after the adoption of the\n2014 public procurement directives, Members welcomed the\nnon-legislative measures proposed by the Commission that should\nencourage better implementation. However, they are concerned about\nthe pace at which Member States are modernising their public\nprocurement framework, in particular as regards the deadlines for\nelectronic procurement and Member States' switch to full\ne-procurement, including e-invoicing.
\nMembers welcomed the new public procurement\nguidance for practitioners of February 2018, designed to help\nnational, regional and local public officials ensure efficient and\ntransparent public procurement procedures for EU-funded\nprojects.
\nThey urged the Commission:
\nStrategic and coordinated procurement: Members called for widespread use of innovative\npublic procurement to achieve smart, green and inclusive growth and\nstrengthen the circular economy, ensuring that all companies,\nincluding SMEs, have access to public procurement.
\nThe report asked the Commission and the Member States\nto analyse the reasons why the lowest price is too often the\nprimary award criterion in a number of Member States with\ndisregard for quality, sustainability and social inclusion, and to\npropose appropriate solutions if necessary.
\nMembers advocated the adoption of a European code of\nethics for the various actors involved in procurement process. They\ncalled for public procurement practices to respect the Convention\non the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and stressed the\nimportance for contracting authorities to consider the full\nlife-cycle of products, including their environmental impact and in\ntheir purchasing decisions.
\nThe Commission is invited to ensure that the\nobligation to ensure that contractors and subcontractors fully\ncomply with the environmental, social and labour law\nprovisions which apply at the place where the works are\nexecuted, services are provided or goods are produced or supplied\nis fulfilled by the Member States in the transposition and\napplication of the 2014 Directives.
\nDigitalisation: the\nreport called on Member States to strive for a rapid digital\ntransformation of the procedures and for the introduction of\ne-processes for all major stages, namely from notification, access\nto tenders and submission to evaluation, contract award, ordering,\ninvoicing and payment. The Commission and the Member States are\ninvited to put in place the eForms by the end of 2018 at the\nlatest.
\nSingle market and improved access to public\nprocurement: recalling that\ncompetitive bidding is vital in public procurement, Members urged\nMember States to make greater use of joint procurement procedures,\nincluding cross-border procedures, as facilitated by the revised EU\nrules, and invite the Commission to provide in-depth support in\nthis area. They called on Member States to support SMEs participation\nin tenders, for example by mandatory\ndivision into lots when possible or by placing a limit on the\nturnover required to participate in a tender\nprocedure.
\nInternational public\nprocurement: more\nthan half of the global public procurement markets are currently\nclosed to free international competition. Members called on the EU\nto take action to improve access for EU suppliers to third\ncountry public procurement markets, given that the EU's public\nprocurement markets are among the most open in the world. They\ncalled on the Commission to ensure that European companies get\nsimilar market access to that enjoyed by our foreign competitors in\nthe EU market.
\nThe report stressed that economic operators in\nthird countries must comply with the EU's social and environmental\ncriteria set out in the 2014 directives in order to qualify for\npublic procurement contracts. To this end, it recommended that\nthese contracts be awarded according to the criteria of the most\neconomically advantageous tender.
\nLastly, Members asked the Commission to propose\nthe means for financial support from Union funds to support\nrelevant actions on professionalisation in the Member\nStates.

\nThe report asked the Commission and the Member States\nto analyse the reasons why the lowest price is too often the\nprimary award criterion in a number of Member States with\ndisregard for quality, sustainability and social inclusion, and to\npropose appropriate solutions if necessary.
\nMembers advocated the adoption of a European code of\nethics for the various actors involved in procurement process. They\ncalled for public procurement practices to respect the Convention\non the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and stressed the\nimportance for contracting authorities to consider the full\nlife-cycle of products, including their environmental impact and in\ntheir purchasing decisions.
\nThe Commission is invited to ensure that the\nobligation to ensure that contractors and subcontractors fully\ncomply with the environmental, social and labour law\nprovisions which apply at the place where the works are\nexecuted, services are provided or goods are produced or supplied\nis fulfilled by the Member States in the transposition and\napplication of the 2014 Directives.
\nDigitalisation: the\nreport called on Member States to strive for a rapid digital\ntransformation of the procedures and for the introduction of\ne-processes for all major stages, namely from notification, access\nto tenders and submission to evaluation, contract award, ordering,\ninvoicing and payment. The Commission and the Member States are\ninvited to put in place the eForms by the end of 2018 at the\nlatest.
\nSingle market and improved access to public\nprocurement: recalling that\ncompetitive bidding is vital in public procurement, Members urged\nMember States to make greater use of joint procurement procedures,\nincluding cross-border procedures, as facilitated by the revised EU\nrules, and invite the Commission to provide in-depth support in\nthis area. They called on Member States to support SMEs participation\nin tenders, for example by mandatory\ndivision into lots when possible or by placing a limit on the\nturnover required to participate in a tender\nprocedure.
\nInternational public\nprocurement: more\nthan half of the global public procurement markets are currently\nclosed to free international competition. Members called on the EU\nto take action to improve access for EU suppliers to third\ncountry public procurement markets, given that the EU's public\nprocurement markets are among the most open in the world. They\ncalled on the Commission to ensure that European companies get\nsimilar market access to that enjoyed by our foreign competitors in\nthe EU market.
\nThe report stressed that economic operators in\nthird countries must comply with the EU's social and environmental\ncriteria set out in the 2014 directives in order to qualify for\npublic procurement contracts. To this end, it recommended that\nthese contracts be awarded according to the criteria of the most\neconomically advantageous tender.
\nLastly, Members asked the Commission to propose\nthe means for financial support from Union funds to support\nrelevant actions on professionalisation in the Member\nStates.
