Qualification, Selection and Exclusion in EU Procurement
Qualification featured prominently in numerous public procurement disputes in the EU as it is of crucial importance to the outcome of EU tender procedures. This volume supplements the previous volume in the Series on the award phase. The book also considers the implications of the new Public Sector Directive 2014/24/EU with regard to the qualification phase, and provides an analysis of the implementation of the new Directive in a range of Member States. The publication is unique as it is based on a comparative approach covering diversified national approaches to EU public procurement law.

Modernising Public Procurement: The New Directive
The recently approved Public Procurement Directive 2014/24/EU has brought a major overhaul to EU law and made significant changes to the obligations of contracting authorities in the Member States. Concurrently, the new directive has introduced some measures of flexibility and important new requirements. This book focuses on the essence of these changes, starting with the definition of a public procurement contract to end with changes to concluded contracts. In between many very important aspects of the reform are analysed, including the new rules on in house and public-public partnerships, on qualification, on the new and more flexible award procedures, including those aimed at fostering innovation. Specific attention is also…
Enforcement of the EU Public Procurement Rules
The European procurement Law Series Vol. 3. The analysis provided in this book focus on the interpretation, implementation and practice in a range of Member States of the EU as enforcement mainly takes place at national level and on the recent changes introduced with Remedies Directive 2007/66. It also considers the correlation between the available remedies, whether the different national systems all are leading to effectiveness, enforcement of the public procurement rules outside of the Public Procurement Directives and includes a general comparative study of the national enforcement regimes.
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.
