註釋
IT solutions seem to become strategic in order to better enforce non-discrimination and transparency principles to favour participation, particularly in list B services and below threshold procurements. Electronic means can be fundamental to ensure the application of the EU Treaty principles required outside the scope of the Directive. The substantial number (250.000) of smaller procuring entities in Europe preclude the possibility to significantly and quickly develop their skills. As a result, such entities either enlarge the joint procurement or leave this task to professional buying organizations. Significantly, in Italy it has been recently provided that municipalities with a population not exceeding 5,000 inhabitants must either entrust the acquisition of works, services and supplies to a single central purchasing body or purchase through joint procurement. Any form of joint procurement could limit below threshold procurement since the award procedure is likely be conducted under a framework agreement, or with the potential to split a contract into a number of lots but normally above the threshold at least for goods and services procurements. Such re-organization could favour the wider development and implementation of IT solutions that is definitely the solution for the future of public procurement.
