Bestek - de Aanbestedingspodcast

In today’s episode, we discuss the transfer of competences and responsibilities in light of article 1(6) Directive 2014/24/EU and the relevant case-law including Remondis and Porin Kaupunki. The key question here is how it differs from the award of a public contract, and how this plays out for the national organization of public tasks. For dessert, we discuss two books we wish we wrote.
