EU Procurement Update

Wednesday May 30th

Overview

By its very nature the EU procurement legislation is constantly evolving. We need to understand how these changes affect everyday procurement.

The courts considered in some detail issues such as legal challenge, the extent to which contracts can be changed and requirements such as the standstill period and cancellation of concluded contracts.

The programme sets out key issues that have arisen as a result of this very dynamic situation and inevitably will be modified as developments occur.
