3 2 EU Legislation Framework The legislative package of public procurement Directives, approved in 2004 by the European Parliament and the EU's Council of Ministers and entered into force on 20 April 2004, aims to simplify, harmonies and modernise procurement procedures applied by the EU Member States. This revision merges the four existing European directives into two legal instruments: –The so-called "traditional" Directive 2004/18/EC for public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts;2004/18/EC –Directive 2004/17/EC on the "special sectors" of water, energy, transport and postal services.2004/17/ECwater, energy, transport and postal services Among several innovative provisions the new Directives strongly promote the development of electronic procedures while enforcing general fundamental Principles: –Non-discrimination –Transparency –Fair competition

5 4 EU Legislation Framework The new Directives set out the procedural rules and detailed provisions for the use of electronic means in public procurement: –Use of electronic means is a choice of contracting authority –All stages of procedure can be conducted electronically –General requirements for communicating, advertising and receiving tenders Unrestricted access to tendering procedure: use of non-discriminatory, generally available and interoperable tools (communication, tender submission, etc.) Integrity, confidentiality, exact time stamping, locking of data, 4-eyes principle Traceability of all operations Specifications for transmitting tenders (encryption, format etc.) must be published in the tender documents E-signatures in conformity with national legislation transposing Dir 1999/93/EC and introduce new purchasing techniques: –Electronic auctions –Electronic catalogues –Dynamic Purchasing Systems

6 5 The benefits of e-procurement for Public Procurement The importance of eProcurement in the European Union is widely recognized. The Ministerial declaration approved unanimously on 24 November 2005 in Manchester, states that eProcurement will lead to lower transaction and processing costs for public administrations and to increased efficiency, for example greater speed in procuring services and goods and reduced spending due to increased choice and competition But significant benefits are taken by eProcurement in terms of efficiency and improved competition as well; as stated in the same declaration above mentioned competition, with a higher participation of SMEs, in turn will lead to greater innovation in the private sector. According to an estimation made by the European Commission and reported in the Action Plan for the implementation of the legal framework for electronic public procurement [1],[1] –administrative cost saving of e-procurement are expected to be about 30%, while –purchasing cost savings could be as high as 10% to 50%.

21 20 Framework contracts – eshops E-shops represent an open window on the web in which goods and services selected through framework contracts are available to PA procurement offices registered to the Program Product selection and online (or fax) ordering Traditional and electronic tenders

22 21 Electronic tenders and marketplace - Decree 101/2002 In particular, by the adoption of this Decree, new electronic awarding procedures are introduced for the first time in the italian legislative framework. These new methods do not replace the traditional awarding procedures, but they represent an alternative measure for the awarding authorities in the public procurement processes. In particular the Decree provides for the Public Administration two different electronic goods and services purchasing techniques, to be performed in compliance with the transparency and non discrimination principles: the electronic tender the marketplace

23 22 Decree 101/2002 – The electronic tender 1.The Electronic tender, according to the provision set by the article 1.a) and b) of the Decree 101/2002 is a procurement procedure with whom contracting authorities purchase goods and services both above and below the European threshold limit and exactly a public contract awarding procedure exclusively performed through electronic devices in compliance with the provisions set out in the Decree itself. 2.Auction format is defined by the following elements: Style of negotiation: Open - Blind (sealed bid) Award criteria: Lowest price - More economically advantageous tender Ranking algorithm: SUM Score = Technical Score + Economical Score RATIO Score = Economical bid/Technical Score Type of negotiation: Continuous - Single round – Multiple round 1.The Electronic tender, according to the provision set by the article 1.a) and b) of the Decree 101/2002 is a procurement procedure with whom contracting authorities purchase goods and services both above and below the European threshold limit and exactly a public contract awarding procedure exclusively performed through electronic devices in compliance with the provisions set out in the Decree itself. 2.Auction format is defined by the following elements: Style of negotiation: Open - Blind (sealed bid) Award criteria: Lowest price - More economically advantageous tender Ranking algorithm: SUM Score = Technical Score + Economical Score RATIO Score = Economical bid/Technical Score Type of negotiation: Continuous - Single round – Multiple round

25 24 MEPA Qualified suppliers selected through a qualification process, starting from the date of publication of the qualification notice Suppliers Central Government Universities Local Government Health bodies Buying administrations Mark et Qualification notice (public announcement) The PA marketplace - the model MEPA (Electronic Marketplace for Public Administrations) The marketplace is a fully electronic system for purchasing goods and services below the EU threshold It works as a virtual market in which the acquiring Public Administration can select goods and services offered by several suppliers from an electronic catalogue offered in a virtual shop shown on the Consip s website. The marketplace is open to qualified suppliers who comply to the provided selection criteria The whole process is conducted by using electronic and digital means including the electronic signature, in order to legally guarantee the transactions

26 25 The qualification notice will also provide information on: product and service categories objective and subjective needs for qualification technical and quality characteristics of supplies as well as service levels to take into consideration during the qualification phase assessment criteria for qualification requests Furthermore, general supply conditions have to be drafted (i.e. contract template) Qualification notice publication Suppliers qualification operating phase una tantum phases Suppliers qualification notice Transactions The PA marketplace - the phases

33 32 The Jurys motivation: the MEPA winner in category 2b …as it is a highly innovative initiative. Its impact is high for government administrations but most importantly for SMEs as they can offer goods and services which are relevant for public administrations… The MEPA has also ensured user take-up through communication plans and training. More specifically through the setting up of training desks responding to specific needs shown by the enterprises using the system… This award given to Consip represents an acknowledgement to the MEPA for having improved and facilitated the access to public procurement to enterprises, especially SMEs. At the same time MEPA contributes to rewarding the valiant effort the Italian PA and suppliers are making towards modernization.
