"An open and regulated policy is crucial in making public procurement more transparent, non-discriminatory and competitive, and in avoiding the traps of nepotism and corruption.
I agree with the rapporteur, Ms Rühle, when she says that the award should no longer be made based on the criterion of lowest price alone. Today, with a view to compliance with many of the objectives contained in the EU 2020 strategy, quality and innovation are also important and, furthermore, are criteria offered by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
SMEs currently win a smaller percentage of public procurement contracts compared with larger companies because the procedures for accessing procurement contracts are too complex and costly. Therefore, I agree that there is a need for clearer rules, simplification of European law and better access to flexible instruments, not only for SMEs, but also for non-governmental organisations offering social services."@en1
