Public Procurement Matters March 2011

Procurement update

An end to the LAML saga on in-house exemptions; Remedies Directive working in practice; claiming out of time; Part B services; buying social and new defence rules

The public sector may be cutting back across Europe but there is still plenty happening in public procurement, both in the UK and beyond.  This edition of Public Procurement Matters focuses on lifting the automatic suspension of contracts that the Remedies Directive created when court proceedings are taken, the end of the notorious LAML case dealing with in-house procurements, general rules of transparency applying even to Part B contracts, procurement claims made out of time, the use of social consideration in procurement and proposed new UK laws for defence and national security procurements.
