This Master Class gives you the opportunity to get advice on your specific issues from our experts and to share the experience of others in the public sector.
Participants will receive a copy of the recent EIPA book ‘Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Procedures – A Practical Guide’ (2nd edition), written by our experts Michael Burnett and Martin Oder.
In Directive 2014/24/EU there are new rules for Competitive Dialogue and the procedural rules for the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation are more detailed than the former rules of the Negotiated Procedure with Prior Publication. Competitive Dialogue is now also an available procedure in the utilities sectors in Directive 2014/25/EU.
The many practical questions covered in this Master Class about how to implement these procedures include:
• When is Competitive Dialogue a better procurement route than the Restricted Procedure or the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation?
• What justification is needed for the use of Competitive Dialogue or the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation in the 2014 directives?
• What do awarding bodies need to do to plan the effective use of these procedures?
• How can awarding bodies best use the flexibility which the procedures provide?
Tailored to your needs
The Master Class uses a high degree of interactive discussion of practical issues faced by participants, allowing for maximum possible attention to individual cases. Numbers are limited to a maximum of 20 participants to facilitate discussion and maximise learning benefits.
Who will benefit most?
This Master Class is for policy-makers, public officials from national/sub-national administrations and other bodies awarding public contracts in EU Member States and candidate countries, from European institutions and organisations, from EU-based international organisations and for professional advisers. It will particularly benefit those with a good understanding of public procurement issues who wish to improve their knowledge and skills in Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Procedures and wish discuss practical issues relevant to procurements in progress or soon to be launched.
