Overview

The European Union (EU) procurement directives, and the Regulations that implement them in the UK, set out the law on public procurement.  Their purpose is to open up the public procurement market and to ensure the free movement of goods and services within the EU.

The rules apply to purchases by public bodies and certain utilities which are above set monetary thresholds.  They cover all EU member states and, as a result of international agreements, their benefits also extend to a number of other countries worldwide. 

Where the regulations apply, contracts must be advertised in the Official Journal of the EU and there are other detailed rules that must be followed.  The rules are enforced through the courts, including the European Court of Justice (ECJ)
