In deze aflevering spreek ik met mr. Allard Knook (PwC) over staatssteunrecht in tijden van COVID-19. We gaan in op de systematiek van het recht, de raakvlakken met het aanbestedingsrecht en de rol van de Europese Commissie in relatie tot staatssteun de afgelopen maanden. Gaandeweg identificeren we pijnpunten in de praktijk.
In today’s episode, we discuss the tricky concept of non-institutionalised cooperation and its relationship with EU public procurement law. For this purpose, we consider the recent ruling of the CJEU in the case of Stadt Köln. In this case, the CJEU made significant headway in clarifying some aspects of article 12(4) Directive 2014/24/EU for the first time. For dessert, we stick to the theme of cooperation and discuss it in light of its role in academia.
In this episode of Bestek, we discuss framework agreements. Some would say a "hot topic" of late, particularly following a CJEU judgment in case C-216/17, Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato - Antitrust and Coopservice. We consider what changes to the interpretation of the law this judgment brought; the new challenges posed by this judgment; as well as some of the practicalities in operating framework agreements. We are 'dishing' about a PhD in public procurement for the happy, fun dessert time. Is there anything specific about doing a PhD in public procurement? What would be some advice that we would give to younger selves or our younger colleagues?
Steeds vaker wordt de publieke inkoop gezamenlijk opgepakt door overheden. In deze aflevering spreekt dr. Willem Janssen met dr. Marcel Stuijts (Bizob) over zijn proefschrift over structurele samenwerking en succesfactoren.
De aanbestedingswereld kan op veel plekken nog effectiever en efficiënter opereren. Maar wat moet er dan precies beter? Ik vroeg het aan 10 experts, werkzaam in de wetenschap en advocatuur, ter afsluiting van elke aflevering van Bestek – de...
In this episode of Bestek, we discuss a very close topic to both of our research projects: sustainable public procurement. We look at this subject through the lens of the newly introduced European Green Deal and what changes it introduces. For dessert, we are ‘dishing’ about academic life after COVID 19. Will we still travel to conferences? If not, why might we miss it?
Een korte public service announcement: Bestek goes international! Ik kijk er naar uit om samen met dr. Marta Andhov (Universiteit van Kopenhagen) Engelstalige afleveringen te gaan maken. Benieuwd naar jullie gedachten!
We continue the discussion about COVID-19 related issues. We consider how the issue of 'urgency' is interpreted, and at which point it cannot be relied upon anymore. Also, how are 'regular' procurements (meaning not healthcare-related) affected by the circumstances of COVID-19? We discuss how regular procurements that are still to be launched, procurements that are currently in the mids of the process, or procurement contracts that have already been awarded, are affected and what kind of assistance can be found in the legal interpretation of the public procurement rules. For the happy, fun dessert time, we chat about the role of mentorship and our ambition to be mentors for our students.
We critically discuss the Commission guidance on COVID-19 and public procurement and what we think are some of the challenges that contracting authorities face these days. Also, we discuss the approaches taken by some of the Member States to address the COVID 19. For the happy, fun dessert time, we chat about academic life and especially teaching online in these times.
In this Trailer, we explain why we did not open a restaurant, but in fact started a podcast on public procurement law, our love of food, and our milestones and struggles in academic life.
