LABURPENA: Kontratu publiko baten egikaritzaren testuinguruan, arrazoi edo kausa jakin batzuk gerta daitezke, haren izaera alda dezaketenak, aldaketa batzuk egin behar izateraino. Halakoetan, kontrajarrita gerta daitezke, alde batetik, kontratu bati eusteak berez duen interes publikoa, aldaketaren bat egin behar bazaio ere, eta bestetik, kontratuaren aurretiazko suntsiarazpena, hitzartutako prestazioa burutu ezin delako. Egoera horretan, legelari espainiarrek nahiz europarrek alde batera zein bestera jo izan dute. Legedi espainiarra, Ekonomia Jasangarrirako Legea iritsi arte, oso epel agertu zen, kontratu-aldaketen kontrolari zegokionez. Behin kontratazioari buruzko 2014ko zuzentarauak onartuta, transposizioa egin behar zitzaien, eta hasitako ildoari jarraipena eman, alegia, kontratuen aldaketa salbuespen gisa eta modu justifikatuan tratatu behar dela, lizitazioen izaera lehiakorra ez kaltetzearren. Lan honetan aztertu nahi dena da Sektore Publikoko Kontratuen Legeak 2014 Zuzentarauari egin dion transposizioa. ABSTRACT: In the framework of the execution of a public contract some specific causes can change its nature and therefore make necessary some amendments. The contrast that occurs in those cases between the public interest aimed at the maintenance of the contract although it involves an amendment and the premature termination of it due to the inability to perform the agreed service, has provoked that national and european legislators priorize in some occasiones for one or the other. The Spanish legislation up until the passing of the Sustainable Economy Act was very timid regading the control of amendments. Once Directives from 2014 about public procurement were enacted it was neccesary their transposition by following the line that understands that the modifications should be addressed as exceptional and justified with the purpose of not undermining the competitive nature of bidding. We try to analyze the transposition of the Directive from 2014 by the Public Sector Contracts Act. RESUMEN: En el marco de la ejecución de un contrato público pueden darse determinadas causas que alteren su naturaleza y, por tanto, hagan necesarias algunas modificaciones. La contraposición que en estas ocasiones se produce entre el interés público ínsito en el mantenimiento un contrato, aunque suponga una modificación, y la resolución anticipada del mismo por la imposibilidad de realizar la prestación pactada, ha provocado que el legislador nacional y europeo se decante en distintas ocasiones por uno u otro. La legislación española hasta la Ley de Economía Sostenible se mostró muy tímida en el control de los modificados. Una vez aprobadas las Directivas 2014 sobre contratación fue necesario a través de su trasposición seguir la línea emprendida en el sentido de entender que la modificación debe tratarse de manera excepcional y justificadamente para no desvirtuar el carácter competitivo de la licitación. Se pretende analizar en este estudio la trasposición de la Directiva 2014 por parte de la LCSP.

<p>RESUMO:  A entidade adjudicante encontra-se vinculada a um leque de deveres, regras e princípios na fase de formação de contratos públicos. O desvio ao cumprimento às legítimas causas de não adjudicação e aos princípios norteadores da contratação pública, como o da concorrência, imparcialidade, não discriminação em razão da nacionalidade e interesse público conduz à responsabilidade pré-contratual da entidade adjudicante, destinada à tutela ressarcitória do privado (interesse contratual positivo, interesse contratual negativo e perda de chance).  No contexto pré-contratual assumem uma especial pertinência as questões sensíveis acerca da tutela da confiança do particular, alteração anormal das circunstâncias e do reequilíbrio financeiro do contrato. Por último, a questão da “urgência” na fase pré-contratual, é assegurada pelo “contencioso pré-contratual”, de carácter urgente, previsto nos artigos 100.º a 103.º-B, do Código dos Contratos Públicos.</p><p>PALAVRAS-CHAVES: Contratos Públicos; Fase de Formação do Contrato Público; Contencioso Pré-contratual Urgente; Responsabilidade pré-contratual das entidades adjudicantes.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>ABSTRACT: The contracting authority is bound by a range of legal duties, rules and principles at the formation of contract phase. The disrespect  of the compliance of these rules and of  the legitimate causes of non-award and the public procurement´s  guiding-principles (competition, impartiality, non-discrimination on grounds of nationality and public interest) leads to the contracting authority's pre-contractual liability for the private´s financial compensation (positive contractual interest, negative contractual interest and “loss of chance”). In the pre-contractual context, sensitive issues are of particular relevance: the protection of the private´s trust, abnormal change in circumstances and the financial rebalancing of the contract. Finally, the issue of “urgency” at the pre-contractual phase is ensured by the urgent “pre-contractual litigation” provided in articles 100.º to 103.º- B, of the Public Procurement Code.</p><p>KEYWORDS: Public Contracts; Formation of the Public Contract Phase; Urgent Pre-contractual Litigation; Pre-contractual procedure´s liability of contracting authorities.</p>

The objective of this paper is to generate insights into the process of establishing examination of failures in additional documents of specifications of public tenders using archival data. The study is conducted in the public sector procurement practice of public sector organizations – organizational units in the Czech Republic. Overall, the study adds a piece to the mosaic of preparation of public procurement specifications and additional documents arranged in line with the guidance of public procurement in years 2007–2010. The data set contained failures in specifications and additional documents processed in fifteen organizational units. The key research question is, if the failures developed in processing specifications and additional documents depend on obligatory guidance used in observed years. According to the findings this expectation has not been rejected (α = 0.05). The other expectation, saying that in observed years failures appear in 5 % of processed documents, has been rejected (α = 0.05).

Governments increasingly use novel forms of public procurement to stimulate innovation in public service delivery. A notable example is pre-commercial procurement. Launched by the European Commission a decade ago, pre-commercial procurement encourages research and development of new solutions for the public sector. However, limited theoretical and empirical studies have made it difficult to assess and improve use of the model to foster public innovation. Based on two pre-commercial procurement projects in Denmark, the article aims to complete the first systematic and theory-based evaluation of national experiences. The evaluation shows that sufficient resources, participant and management commitment, and focused management of the collaborative process contributed to successful development and testing of a new solution in one of the projects. Meanwhile, technical obstacles in developing a prototype resulted in termination of the other project. In this case, the pre-commercial procurement model cannot accommodate significant changes to the agreed solution during the innovation process.

This paper discusses recent changes in the way public services are delivered A marked increase in the cooperation between the public and private sector in the realization of complex projects, mostly concerning development of infrastructure, is the main characteristic of present-day developing economies. The creation of new, innovative agreements is driven by the limitation of public funds and an ever-growing demand for an increase in the quality of public services. Looking upon the western economies experience alternatives to the traditional public sector procurement are identified in the public/private partnership. The public/private partnership can be seen as one component in the rearrangement of the public sector with a management culture that focuses on the citizen or customer. Also included in this are accountability for results, investigation of a wide variety of alternative service delivery mechanisms, and competition between public and private bodies for contracts to deliver services consistent with cost recovery and the achievement of value for money. The partnership can be realized through an array of models and in this paper priority is given to the DBFO (design-build-finance-operate) model, due to its importance in implementation. The DBFO model is considered to be a synonym for the public/private partnership, as it is the most suitable for complex projects and gains the most benefits.

The paper is about sustainable public procurement as a new global trend in the development of a sustainable economy. The main question raised is the following: how could sustainable public procurement be implemented in Russia? We aim to answer the question by presenting the findings of survey, covering public procurement practices of 51 contracting authorities and documentation analysis of 400 public tenders, and investigating Russian legislation. The conducted survey aims to identify the aspects of sustainable public procurement already used by public authorities in procuring practices in Russia. The analysis of Russian legislation allows to define in which sections of procurement documentation different aspects of sustainability could be included. This paper provides a unique survey of sustainable procurement practices across the Russian public sector. Research also shows the prerequisites of implementation of sustainable public procurement in Russia.

Abstract Background Malaysia’s public healthcare sector provides a greater volume of medicines at lower overall cost, indicating its importance in providing access to medicines for Malaysians. However, the Ministry of Health (MOH), as the main healthcare provider, has concerns about the continuous increase in the public sector medicines budget, and achieving efficiencies in medicines procurement is an important goal. The objectives of this study were to assess the overall trend in public sector pharmaceutical procurement efficiency from 2010 to 2014, and determine if the three different ways in which MOH procures medicines influences efficiency.Methods We matched medicines from the public sector procurement report by medicine formulation to medicines with a Management Sciences for Health (MSH) International Reference Price (IRP) for each year. Price ratios were calculated, and utilizing the information on quantity and expenditure for each product, summary measures of procurement efficiency were reported as quantity- and expenditure-weighted average price ratios (WAPRs) for each year. Utilizing MOH procurement data to obtain information on procurement type, a multiple regression analysis, controlling for a number of factors that can influence prices, assessed whether procured efficiency (relative to IRPs) differed by MOH procurement type.Results Malaysia’s public sector purchased medicines at two to three times the IRP throughout the study period. However, procurement prices were relatively stable in terms of WAPRs each year (2.2 and 3.2 in 2010 to 1.9 and 2.9 in 2014 for quantity and expenditure WAPRs, respectively). Procurement efficiency did not vary between the three different methods of MOH procurement. Procurement efficiency of both imported innovators and imported generics were significantly lower ( P <0.001 and P <0.01) than local generic products, and medicine source and category influenced the procurement efficiency of each MOH procurement mechanism.Conclusion The design of different medicines procurement mechanisms, along with the balance of interests that Malaysia has sought to achieve in its public procurement procedures, have not been able to achieve lower public sector medicines procurement prices (relative to IRP). Introducing pooled procurement options along with continuous monitoring of procurement efficiency and exploring ways to improve price competition among local and foreign suppliers is recommended.

This chapter begins by considering public procurement in the context of equality duties. The United Kingdom government has not used the Equality Act 2010’s regulation-making powers to impose specific statutory public procurement equality duties in England, but the Welsh and Scottish Ministers have made such regulations. Equality considerations are nonetheless relevant considerations in a public authority’s public procurement decisions as part of the general public sector equality duty in section 149 of the Act. The extent to which equality can (and should) be taken into account in the public procurement process is also, therefore, relevant to private undertakings which might wish to tender for the provision of goods or services to public authorities. The chapter then addresses the provisions in the Act intended to improve transparency in the private sector by prohibiting clauses which prevent employees discussing their pay. The Act introduced, in section 78, a power to make regulations which would impose a requirement on businesses to report on gender pay differences.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss how a seller can use interactions to respond to public procurement needs for innovation when the buying side is restricted by public procurement regulations. Design/methodology/approach The authors collected data using qualitative semi-structured interviews of different empirical examples, in which private–public interactions of four different high-technological products are studied. Two products belong to the defence industry and two to the civil industry. Findings The findings point to three types of innovations in public procurement: product, service and business model. The empirical examples further indicate, as suggested in previous studies, that innovation is hindered by regulations that limit interaction between suppliers and the public. In addition, the empirical examples indicate that firms mobilize actors in their network when the buyer is restricted in regard to interaction. The findings also add to the IMP literature by comparing interactions in the three types of innovations in the public procurement context. Originality/value Public procurement is an area where innovations are lagging behind, compared with private procurement. Research points to limited interaction between actors as an obstacle to innovation in public sector collaborations. This paper extends the literature on how organizations interact in the setting of public procurement. The authors identify demand and supply triggers for three types of innovations: product, service and business model innovation.
