Abstract | A substantial share of public investment is spent on public procurement in the European Union (EU) (ca. EUR 2 trillion per annum, representing 14% of EU GDP) and quality public services depend on well-managed and efficient modern procurement. Improving public procurement can yield big savings: a 1% efficiency gain could save EUR 20 billion every year. The public sector can use procurement to boost jobs, growth and investment. Public higher education institutions, including university hospitals, are important public procurers. Universities act not only as "buyers" (of goods, services and works), but also as "providers" for other public authorities as well as companies, particularly in the context of research, development and innovation. In this context, it is vital to: understand the procurement needs of higher education institutions, identify enablers of efficient and effective procurement in the higher education sector, and analyse potential hurdles, be they at "system" (EU, national or regional) level, or inherent in "institutional" practices and governance frameworks. The European University Association (EUA) wrote this report for the Portuguese higher education sector. It is designed to provide a comparative overview of the existing public procurement frameworks in selected EU member states and to showcase the procurement systems and good practice at several universities. It also offers general recommendations for policy makers and higher education institutions in Portugal and beyond, highlighting ways to improve existing public procurement frameworks and to develop institutional strategies and implementation practices. At national level, the study covers a sample of seven benchmark countries representing different government, legal and university traditions: Austria, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, and Spain. Examples of regional public procurement regulations are also featured. (ERIC). |
