SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES IN EC PROCUREMENT LAW


Public procurement is the process whereby government bodies purchase
from the market the goods, works and services that they need. Whether
buying paper clips, commissioning major projects for the construction of
hospitals, schools or offices, or procuring multimillion-pound IT and
communications systems, the authorities in question are participating in
the public procurement market. It is a market of great economic importance,
and in the EC context is of particular concern from the perspective
of the single market. In 1994 the market in regulated procurement
(including utilities) represented no less than 14 per cent of Community
GDP1 and the UK public procurement market alone has been estimated
as worth £117 billion
