Description
Public procurement constitutes an astonishing annual sum of €2 trillion, equivalent to 14% of the EU’s GDP. It serves as a crucial component in the functioning of the EU single market, seamlessly operating in the background when everything runs smoothly, but becoming noticeably distressing and headline-grabbing when issues arise.
Procurement extends beyond purchasing. It encompasses the evaluation of needs, formulation of requirements, thorough market analysis, and the engagement of the most suitable vendor based on well-defined criteria and intentions. Striking the right balance between cost and quality is pivotal in the discourse surrounding value-for-money (VFM), a critical concept applicable to both public and private investments.
This Masterclass spans two decades, meticulously crafted through the collective experiences of three esteemed procurement experts, led by Mr. Ray Bartolo. Serving as procurement consultants and managers for a spectrum of entities, including public health, environment, energy, education, agriculture, tourism, EU funds, water utilities, road infrastructure, internal security, and housing in Malta, the team draws upon real-life cases and personal anecdotes to offer an immersive insight into various procedures. This includes navigating intricate special conditions, addressing contract modifications, handling procurement in emergency response situations, and scrutinising the exhaustive "fine-print" associated with contracts, irrespective of their value.
