European Procurement & Public Private Partnership Law Review, Volume 18 (2023), Issue 3, Page 209 - 220

Government procurement has emerged as a complex and crucial national and international trade policy subject in the contemporary era. The United States of America (US) and the European Union (EU) are recognised as economies with some of the most advanced procurement regimes. Globally, developing countries have struggled to develop robust procurement regulatory frameworks for government procurement. This paper analyses the evolution of procurement in the US and EU and the valuable lessons for developing countries willing to improve their procurement regimes. The findings will be helpful to achieve harmonisation of procurement rules at the international level and to promote efficacy in the procurement process at the domestic level.

Public procurement is the process by which governments as well as other bodies governed by public law purchase products, services and public works. The European Union has adopted legal tools to introduce a certain standard of procedures across its Member States. Nevertheless, there are challenges that remain to be addressed. This article focuses on one area directly connected to both transparency and integrity – conflict of interests. The article first analyses the concept of conflict of interests and how the EU has approached solving conflicts of interests within public procurement. The second part of the article looks into the specifics of two countries that continue to have challenges in addressing conflicts of interests – Romania and Slovakia.
