The European Single Procurement Document

Toward the uniform dematerialization of public procurement processes at European level

Harmonizing, dematerializing, and streamlining public procurement at European level: these are the challenges that must be met to boost public procurement in the European Union.

The evolution of regulations on the dematerialization of public procurement is bringing about real change for both public and private players. But good change management is needed if the new approaches are to be properly adopted. EU Directive 2014/24, French government Decree No. 2016-360 of 25 March 2016 on public procurement, and France’s dematerialization of markets legislation of 1 October 2018 require public entities to embrace the dematerialization of administrative procedures.

This publication focuses first on the European Single Procurement Document market in Europe, and then analyses the particularities of the European Single Procurement Document in France.
