Welcome to the workshop on contract award in EU Public Procurement: practical issues in determining the best bid 2023! This workshop will provide you with thorough insights on contract award in EU Public Procurement while introducing you to practical tools and new knowledge.
In the award phase of Public Procurement we determine scores and the winning bid using methods selected “because we have always used them”. However methods like multiplying scores by weights have properties that are not always accounted for in their application. That may lead to results that do not match original intentions and may even lead to anomalies in the resulting ranking.
During this practical workshop, participants will be advised on the properties to be taken into account and the ways to improve their contract award in practice. Participants will also gain access to additional training materials that will help recapping the knowledge gained during the workshop later on.
Join the conference days throughout the week to extend your Nordic Public Procurement Forum 2023 experience. The conference will comprise a riveting programme with various activities focusing on public procurement.
There will, of course, be exciting and educational presentations at the main conference. During these days, several expert speakers will present their specialist knowledge within areas of public procurement. Here, you will be introduced to the current knowledge on sustainability, corruption and new case law.
We can’t wait to see you!
