Centralising Public Procurement. The Approach of EU Member States
This timely book examines the ever-increasing prevalence of Central Purchasing Bodies (CPBs), analysing their use and structure across different EU Member States. It argues that since CPBs are only partially regulated at EU level, their operations will depend on the legislation of the individual Member States and more importantly on the States’ distinct practices and traditions. Comparative contributions consider the legal nature and structures of CPBs across 12 Member States and the UK.

The In-House Providing in European Law
This book focuses on the distinction between in-house and ex-house providing. The consequence of categorising an arrangement as in-house is that it falls outside the scope of the European public procurement rules. The publication discusses the issue in a broader perspective and looks into the interpretation, implementation and practice in a range of Member States.
