This comprehensive seminar will provide you with an understanding of the principles and procedures of European public procurement policy, focusing on the Public Procurement Directives and relevant case law. You will be guided through the Public Procurement Directive 2014/24/EU and the Utilities Directive 2014/25/EU. These directives will be demystified, empowering participants with actionable insights into their application within professional procurement practices.
Embark on a comprehensive four-day journey, commencing with an ‘introductory’ session on the first day. The morning will be dedicated to foundational aspects, followed by an afternoon session titled ‘Public Procurement Rules and Practice in the EU’, where practical examples from an experienced practitioner will be shared.

This focused segment offers an immersive experience, delving into practical applications and advanced nuances of European Public Procurement. Participants will gain a concentrated understanding of advanced practices, enhancing their expertise in this domain.
