GLOSSARY - Procurement Procedure

[paulakeen]

New entry!!!

• Term: Procurement Procedure

• Definition: Lawful, organised and scheduled administrative tasks that allow one or more Procuring Entities the acquisition of works, supplies or services by means of a public contract.

Reason:

Currently, we don't have an entry for this concept in the glossary!

[JachymHercher]

I've spoken to one of our lawyers about this and he said that even though the directives don't define procedures, in his opinion a procedure would be anything leading to a "public contract" (as that is the central concept of the procurement directives). Thus I would rather propose a definition of something like:

"A series of activities aiming to conclude one or more public contracts."

(I've updated the definition, because a procedure should be a procedure even if it fails; it can lead to one or more contracts)

Following the meeting of 5/09/2018 the term should be renamed procedure and the definition discussed on 7/09/2018

[eprocurementontology]

Term: Procedure
Definition: A series of legally defined administrative steps conducted  to conclude one or more contracts.

WG 07/09/2018
The term public was removed as the ontology is about public procurement.
It was noted that the ontology does not include planning in the concept procedure
