Abstract
This chapter introduces the concept of strategic public procurement, analyses EU competence in regulating strategic public procurement, investigates the scope of the discretion entrusted to the contracting authorities in the area of strategic public procurement. Section V discusses the limits of this discretion, focusing especially on Article 18(2) of Directive 2024/14/EU, which obliges Member States to ensure compliance with environmental, social and labour laws in the implementation of public contracts. Section VI concludes the chapter.
