−	The European Union Procurement Directives establish public procurement rules throughout the European Union and apply to any public purchases above defined thresholds. The directives are enacted in the UK by [http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2006/5/pdfs/uksi_20060005_en.pdf The Public Contracts Regulations].	+
−		+
−	The regulations set out rules requiring that such contracts must be advertised (contract notices published) in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU). This is of particular importance because, unless OJEU rules are considered in the very early stages of a project, the time taken to advertise contracts can cause significant delays (up to 52 days).	+

−	* Introduce a new criterion of the 'most economically advantageous tender' (MEAT) in the award procedure.	+
−	* Introduce "Innovation Partnership" to allow public authorities to call for tenders to solve a specific problem without pre-empting the solution.	+
−	* Introduce a "European Single Procurement Document" based on self-declarations so that only the winning bidder will have to provide original documentation.	+
−	* Introduce new rules on sub-contracting and tougher provisions in relation to "abnormally low bids".	+
−	* Make clear there is no requirement for the privatisation of public enterprises providing services to the public.	+
−		+
−	Member states have two years to implement the new rules into national legislation (ref. [http://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/news-room/content/20140110IPR32386/html/New-EU-procurement-rules-to-ensure-better-quality-and-value-for-money European Parliament News 15 January 2014]).	+
