Transposition of the public procurement directives and its effect on local and regional authorities

The aim of this report, commissioned by the Committee of the Regions (CoR), is i) to assess the national transposition processes and evaluate the involvement of the LRAs, and ii) to assess whether the Member States have taken the authorities views into account when drafting new legislation regarding Public Procurement.

The main empirical base of the study consists of two web-based surveys. The first survey was sent to Governmental officials responsible for the transposition process within the member states who are members of the Public Procurement Network (PPN). The second survey was sent to procurement experts in member organizations of the Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CCRE/CEMR). The survey results have been checked and contextualized through interviews with a limited number of key officials in charge of the transposition processes at the national and regional level in some member states
