Inquiry into influencing the modernisation of European procurement policy
Inquiry into influencing the modernisation of European procurement policy
After the European Commission had published its proposals for
the reform of public procurement legislation in December 2011the task and
finish group explored how the proposed changes could impact upon public
procurement in Wales, and how they could address issues such as:
- the
involvement of more small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), including
social enterprises, in public procurement;
- the use
of public procurement to advance other policy objectives, e.g. social and environmental
policies;
- complexity
and flexibility within the public procurement system.
The Committee invited views on the following questions:
- how
effectively are the current procurement Regulations working in Wales, both
from a supplier/contractor and purchasing authority perspective?
- how
would the proposed changes to the relevant EU Directives impact upon
public procurement in Wales, including the following issues:
·
SME
(including social enterprise) involvement in public procurement;
·
the use of
public procurement to advance other (e.g. social and environmental) policy
objectives;
·
the
complexity and flexibility of existing procurement rules;
·
value for
money for the purchasing authority?
- how
should the EU procurement Directives and the implementing regulations and
codes of practice in Wales be modernised to meet the needs of Welsh
suppliers/contractors and purchasing authorities, and maximise the
capacity of Welsh companies to meet the challenges of the procurement
rules? In particular how should
regulations and/or guidance be re-framed for contracts falling below the
procurement thresholds set by EU Directives?
