The European Commission has released both the Evaluation of the Public Procurement Directives and its accompanying Executive Summary.
The evaluation assesses the functioning of the 2014 EU Public Procurement Directives - Directive 2014/23/EU on Concessions, Directive 2014/24/EU on Public Procurement, and Directive 2014/25/EU on Procurement by Entities Operating in the Water, Energy, Transport and Postal Services Sectors - over the period 2016–2024.
The evaluation provides a comprehensive review of how EU public procurement rules have been applied across Member States, examining their contribution to transparency, competition, and the efficient use of public funds. It also explores the Directives’ role in advancing broader EU policy goals such as sustainability, innovation, and social inclusion.
