The European Union, with its vast market, offers numerous opportunities for businesses of all sizes. However, tendering within the EU involves complying with specific regulations and guidelines.
to EU Procurement
EU procurement refers to the rules and procedures required to award public contracts within the European Union. These regulations are set by the EU institutions to ensure fair competition, value for money, transparency, and efficiency in public procurement activities.
The EU Procurement Directives lay down the framework within which public authorities must operate when tendering for contracts. These directives harmonize and streamline procurement procedures across member states.
Understanding the EU Procurement Process
The EU procurement process is typically divided into several stages:
- Identification of a need: The contracting authority identifies the need for a particular good, service, or work.
- Preparation of the tender: The contracting authority prepares the tender documentation, clearly defining the requirements, evaluation criteria, and contract terms.
- Publishing the notice: The tender notice is published through various channels, both in the EU and internationally, to invite potential suppliers to participate in the procurement process.
- Tender submission: Bidders submit their tenders, meeting all the specified requirements within the deadline.
- Evaluation and selection: Tenders are evaluated according to the predefined criteria, and the best bidder is selected.
- Awarding the contract: The contract is awarded to the successful bidder, followed by contract performance, monitoring, and potential disputes resolution.

Entering the world of EU procurement can be challenging, but here are some tips to increase your chances of success:
- Research and analyze: Understand the market, the relevant EU directives, and regulations, as well as the specific requirements of each tender.
- Build strong partnerships: Collaborating with local suppliers or other businesses can enhance your competitiveness.

The purpose of this book is to provide advice and guidance on procurement for those in Local Authorities and other publictype bodies who have been charged with tendering building repair, maintenance or construction contracts. Written primarily with housing and other property professionals in mind, it assumes only a rudimentary knowledge of procurement and so serves as an to the craft for the less- or the completely inexperienced. Nevertheless, it also assumes that the reader will need to take procurement exercises through to their completion and, in this vein, attempts to cover – in plain language – the whole of the process from conception through to the start of the awarded contract. In this respect, it is hoped it may also be of some use to a wider or more experienced audience.
