New EU public procurement directive - 'Competitive Dialogue'
-
Last modified date:16 February 2007
From 31 January 2006 competitive dialogue is intended to replace the competitive negotiated procedure for use in the award of complex contracts, such as those used for PFI. This preliminary DH guidance sets out the key differences for the NHS.
The Department of Health will be producing its own guidance on the implementation of the new directive and its effect on existing NHS PFI procurement practices in due course. Further information on the new directive can be found on the OGC's website.
Organisations intending to place OJEU notices must consult PFU in the first instance.
