The European Commission presented a proposal to simplify European Union rules on public procurement. The main objective is to reduce bureaucracy and the costs associated with public contract award processes.
The central measure of this proposal is the creation of a single digital platform that would centralize all public contracts in the European Union. This platform would allow greater transparency and efficiency in procurement processes.
According to the European Commission, this simplification would result in a significant cost reduction, with an estimated saving of 650 million euros. This amount represents the expected economic benefit from the implementation of the new rules.
The initiative is part of the Commission's broader effort to modernize and digitize administrative processes in the European Union, making them more accessible to both public entities and companies bidding for public contracts.
