Position Paper

Call for Evidence – European Public Procurement Directives

Bitkom welcomes the opportunity to share its perspective on the EU’s public procurement directives, which are a key pillar of a well-functioning single market. Overall the directives are in general fit for purpose, they provide an adequate baseline for the core elements of procurements in the EU. Therefore, the upcoming revision should focus on reducing regulatory burdens for all participants, harmonising the single market, fostering investment and innovation, strengthening competition, and sustainable procurement.

With this position paper we would like to elaborate on our comments made in the questionnaire and add new and central aspects to the discussion on the revision of the public procurement directives.
