🇪🇺 The European Commission has proposed revising EU public-procurement rules to give public buyers greater scope to prefer European bids and put more weight on quality, sustainability and supply chains rather than price alone.
The Commission says public procurement amounts to about 15% of EU GDP, or roughly €2.6 trillion a year. The reported draft would require a minimum 30% weighting for quality in most award conditions unless a buyer explains why it was not used.
📰 For labour-intensive contracts, the proposed quality weighting would be at least 50%. The plan would also consolidate three procurement laws into one, while stopping short of a binding, across-the-board “made in Europe” quota.
The proposal has not changed EU law. It must still be agreed by the European Parliament and EU ministers, who can amend or reject it; suppliers from countries covered by relevant procurement agreements are not expected to face barriers under the reported draft. ⚖️
