Intensifying Competition in Public Procurement – Focusing on EU Court of Justice Cases

Intensifying competition is a key objective in public procurement policy across the EU. Recent rulings by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) offer important guidance on how competition principles are interpreted and enforced in practice. This workshop examines key cases, highlighting their implications for contracting authorities and bidders, and exploring how legal developments can support more open, efficient, and competitive procurement processes.
