This guidance summarises the main provisions of the Public Contracts Directive. It does not set out all the relevant rules. It is not intended as a substitute for project specific legal advice, which should always be sought by a contracting authority where required. The EU procurement regime, based on the Treaty principles of transparency, non-discrimination, equal treatment and proportionality and described by the Public Contracts Directive and Regulations referred to in this guidance, is not static. It is subject to change, driven by evolving European and domestic case law, European Commission communications, new and revised Public Contracts Directives and amendments to the existing UK Regulations.
