13:00 | PANEL DISCUSSION: PERFORMING THE PUBLIC CONTRACTS
– the Opaque Interplay Between Public Procurement and National Contract Laws While the process of concluding public contracts is relatively harmonised thanks to the EU Public Procurement Directives, the laws ruling the awarded public contracts vary depending on where in Europe we are. In Nordics, public contracts are largely treated as any other private commercial contract to which national contract law is applicable. However, certain principles of contract law do not apply or have limited application to public contracts. For example, even if both contracting parties agree, they cannot modify the contract in a manner that would contradict the national equivalent of Article 72 Directive 2014/24/EU. Within this panel, we will have a roundtable discussion on the fundamentals of public procurement and contract law tensions, placing it in the context of contemporary challenges’ impacts on public contracts. We will share our views on the recent developments in Swedish case law and the possibility of applying the hardship clause to public contracts. The panel is organized under Research Project “Purchase Power – Sustainable Public Procurement through Private Law Enforcement“, carried out at the University of Copenhagen.
Panelists: Marta Andhov, Associate Professor, University of Copenhagen (DK) Michal Kania, Senior Researcher, University of Copenhagen (DK) Kristoffer Sällfors, Public Procurement expert / Lawyer, Vinge Law firm (SE) |

14:30 | CASE: THE DANISH PARLIAMENT
The Danish Parliament has taken over the historical buildings of the The Danish National Archives. This offers a unique opportunity to shape the parliament of the future during the coming years. Which elements are taken into consideration regarding their procurement strategy? How has the process been towards it? How far along are they? And what can other countries learn from it?
