Oversight and Review Procedures in Public Procurement

Oversight and review procedures play a crucial role in monitoring, implementing, and providing guidance in public procurement, ensuring fair practices and adherence to regulations. This includes the establishment of independent national bodies, redress of illegal situations, and measures to address potential harm to entities involved. Proposals for new directives aim to strengthen oversight mechanisms and enhance the sustainability of procurement practices by focusing on areas such as SMEs, sustainable policies, and combating fraud and corruption.
