Sustainable Public Procurement under EU Law : New Perspectives on the State as Stakeholder Hardback
Edited by Beate (Universitetet i Oslo) Sjafjell, Anja Wiesbrock
Hardback
Description
This book examines the effectiveness of the modernisation of EU public procurement law in light of the overarching treaty goals on sustainability.
Contributors expertly cover core issues of public procurement, including life cycle costing (LCC), eco- and fairtrade labels, the link to the subject matter (LtSM) requirement, the mandatory horizontal rule on environmental and social legal compliance, and framework agreements.
Also explored are the balancing of economic and non-economic objectives implied in sustainable public procurement.
The volume moves on to identify major unresolved issues in the use of sustainability considerations, and highlights challenges and possibilities for the national implementation due to take place in 2016.
The book contributes to the dismantling of the compartmentalisation that underpins unsustainable policy decisions by discussing the interface of company law and public procurement law and the implication of the new rules on sustainable public procurement for sustainable companies, and specifically for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
