"I voted in favour of this resolution because public procurement must provide contracting authorities with a direct economic benefit, not the opposite. In order to achieve sustainable and modern procurement, we must provide for simpler public procurement rules and more flexible procedures.
I do not feel that it is appropriate for public procurement authorities to include environmental costs in their assessment of the most economically advantageous offer. Consequently, I welcome the proposal that the decision to use criteria which are not procurement-related must be reserved for decision-making bodies.
Attention should be drawn to the fact that the current provisions on subcontracting should be strengthened so that public authorities are informed of all details relating to the use of subcontractors before a contract is concluded. Furthermore, we must ensure that SME subcontractors are not subject to conditions worse than those applicable to the main contractor.
We should raise the level of thresholds for supply and services contracts so as to facilitate access to public procurement by not-for-profit and social-economy operators, as well as SMEs."@en1
