Briefing on the new EU Procurement Directives
Barbara Linehan, EU Procurement expert
5 June 2014
As most of those involved in the public procurement procurement will be aware, the EU has recently introduced 3 new EU directives on the subject of public procurement. Taken together these 3 directives represent a reform of public procurement rules across the EU.
The directives which were issued by the European Commission are:
- Award of Concession Contracts
- Public Procurement
- Procurement by entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors.
Ahead of their introduction into Irish law, the CIF has arranged a briefing to explain the new directives and the various provisions they contain. We are delighted to announce that arguably the pre-eminent expert on EU procurement policy, Ms. Barbara Linehan, will provide a briefing for our members on all aspects of the directives and what they will mean for Irish construction companies.
Like our most recent briefing with Paul Quinn, we expect a large attendance at this event, so early booking is advised.
To book your place just follow the details below.
This is a free CIF event open to all CIF members. However, like all CIF briefings, it will only proceed if sufficient numbers register to attend in advance.
Please note a certificate of attendance will be issued to all those who register in advance and attend the briefing.
