The Law
of EU Public Procurement
2nd
edition
Christopher
Bovis
Public procurement is an important
and rapidly evolving area of practice in the European commercial legal
environment, and the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has been
instrumental in shaping the current regime. The size of the market, the volume
of transactions between public and private sectors, and new developments in the
interface between sectors has created a need for a comprehensive conceptual
framework to assess important law, policy, and jurisprudence.
This book offers a lucid and
authoritative guide to the development and application of public procurement
law in the European Union (EU) and its Member States, with a core focus on the
principles and case law of the CJEU. It evaluates the policies which underpin
public procurement regulation in the EU and the characteristics of public
procurement litigation before the CJEU, and closely examines the Court's
approach to different areas of public procurement, with insightful and in-depth
analysis of the legislation and case law, and the themes that emerge in
relation to the Fundamental Principles of EU Treaties.
The book's holistic approach,
comparing EU acquis on public procurement with the Member States' stance on
both application and enforcement, make it an important and innovative reference
for legal practitioners, judges, policy makers and academics.
