About this title

Synopsis

This open access anthology explores intersections and boundaries between public procurement and contract law, examining how these legal regimes diverge, influence, and occasionally overlap during the performance stage of public contracts.

While public procurement processes are largely harmonised across Europe through the EU Public Procurement Directives, the performance phase is only partially regulated. A sizeable part of public contract implementation remains subject to national laws, governed through a combination of administrative and contract law. This gives rise to a set of foundational questions: Does public procurement law fully occupy the legal space of public contract performance? In which instances-if any-does contract law retain relevance? Are classical contract law concepts transformed or distorted when applied to public contracts, and how does this affect mechanisms such as arbitration? To what extent do the answers to these questions vary depending on the regulatory model adopted by a given jurisdiction?

Part 1 introduces the topic, covering regulatory models for public contracts from procurement and contract law perspectives. Part 2 examines general issues such as legal review asymmetries, tacit modifications, due diligence, loyalty obligations, and the doctrine of hardship under EU law. Part 3 explores contemporary challenges, including digitalisation and sustainability. Part 4 analyses arbitration in public contract disputes.
This book is an essential resource for scholars, lawyers, practitioners, policymakers, and students, providing analytical depth and practical guidance to help navigate the complexities of public contracts.
