contract award procedure

The contract award procedure was conducted under the Public Service Contracts Directive 92/50/EC, for competitive tendering in public services.

Yes, we would have liked to achieve more in this area, but we have at least established these criteria as a means of exercising control in the contract award procedures.

By ensuring that the public sector has the option of deciding for itself which criteria, if any, it wishes to apply to the contract award procedure, we have strengthened the hand of local authorities.
