Research Handbook on EU Public Procurement Law
Research Handbooks in European Law series
Synopsis
Public procurement law is a necessary component of the single market because it attempts to regulate the public markets of Member States and represents a key priority for the European Union. This Research Handbook makes a major contribution to the understanding of the current EU public procurement regime, its interface with the law of the internal market and the pivotal role that this will play in the delivery of the European 2020 Growth Strategy. Led by Christopher Bovis, a team of internationally acclaimed expert contributors provide comprehensive analysis of the law, jurisprudence and regulation of public procurement in the EU. Coverage is organised into five thematic parts exploring public procurement regulation; strategic procurement; justiciability in public procurement; public procurement and competition; and public procurement and public service.
Offering invaluable, contemporary insights, the Research Handbook on EU Public Procurement Law is both detailed and accessible, making it an indispensable resource for researchers, academics, policy makers, regulators and judges at national and international levels. Its wealth of detail and practical assessment will also appeal to current and future generations of procurement practitioners across the European Union.
Contributors include: M. Andrecka, C. Bovis, R. Canavan, R. Caranta, C. Clarke, D.C. Dragos, M. Kekelekis, E. Matei, K. Neslein, E. Olsson, S. Panagopoulos, O.S. Pantilimon Voda, K. Pedersen, A. Sanchez Graells, S. Schoenmaekers, T. Tatrai, M. Trybus, S. van Garsee

THE MULTIPLE DIMENSIONS OF PUBLIC PROCUREMENT REGULATION DEFTLY EXPLAINED:
PROFESSOR BOVIS AND HIS 17 CONTRIBUTORS REVIEW THIS AREA AT A TIME OF MASSIVE UPHEAVAL IN THE EU
An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
After the events in the UK in June 2016 with the decision by the British people to leave the European Union, this book and many of the other research handbooks in European Law from Elgar will undergo possible change in the next few years depending on when the UK actually departs from the EU and what it takes with it. So we are in for a particularly unpredictable time on all aspects of what we call European Law and its relevance to the UK.
This particular handbook on public procurement is most welcome as academics, practitioners and advisers now re-consider what the role of the UK will be with its relationship towards Europe on just about every single matter one can think of! Desperate times, indeed, for those “remainers” as we try to work out what will happen next.
And so it is that we must thank Elgar Publishing again for their excellent high quality and well researched handbooks. The problem Britain has is, as the editor, Professor Christopher Bovis, says that “public procurement regulation is a necessary component of the principles of free movement of goods and services, the right of establishment and the prohibition of discrimination of nationality grounds”, and he adds “it is also a policy instrument”. So the reader can see immediately what a problem Brexit will now pose.
It will, if course, probably boil down to what happens with the Single European Act 1986 and whether that statute is completely repealed or not as the case may be. This decision has yet to be determined because the regulation of public procurement does expose “an economic and a legal approach to the integration of public markets in the EU”.
The editor writes that public procurement law is a “necessary component of the single market”, attempting as it does to regulate the public markets of the Member States, representing “a key priority for the EU” which, of course will be without the UK soon. So where does it leave the book and its value to the reader now?
Actually, we think in a strong position for the research handbooks make a major contribution to our understanding of the EU public procurement regime. And it is at a time when it is being implemented by the EU Member States, and of the pivotal role that this will play for the delivery of the European 2020 Growth Strategy.
The contributors have identified that the internal market relies on a simplified regime in the European Union, which will result from procedural efficiencies and from streamlining the application of the substantive rules. The title is rightly described as having “comprehensive thematic coverage” including the following: public procurement regulation, strategic procurement, justiciability in public procurement, public procurement and competition and public procurement and public service.
We feel that the value of this piece of research will remain highly significance for a long time to come as the negotiators get down to the task of Brexit, so we hope Bovis and his team are not too disappointed by the decision to depart as there will be a lot more work for them to do as we pick up the pieces of the decision to leave Europe. Thank you, but it is not goodbye!
The publication date is 2016.
