At a Glance

The 2014 EU Procurement Directives have been adopted by the EU institutions and were published in the Official Journal of the EU on 28 March 2014. They came into force on 17 April 2014. EU member states now have 2 years to implement them in national legislation. The government is aiming to transpose (implement) these directives quickly so that the UK can benefit as soon as possible from the improved flexibilities they offer.

About this course

This seminar looks at:-

• the background to this new European legislation,
• where has it come from,
• why is it here and
• also the time table for implementing it, where have we got to, when will it all come into force?

It uses a case study to illustrate that as we go through the different areas.
