Abstract
Public procurement is undergoing a digital transformation. The EU supports the process of rethinking public procurement process with digital technologies in mind. This goes beyond simply moving to electronic tools; it rethinks various pre-award and post-award phases. The aim is to make them simpler for businesses to participate in and for the public sector to manage. It also allows for the integration of data-based approaches at various stages of the procurement process. With digital tools, public spending should become more transparent, evidence-oriented, optimised, streamlined, and integrated with market conditions. This puts e-procurement at the heart of other changes introduced to public procurement in new EU directives.
