"Public procurement – which accounts for 17% of GDP in the European Union – is a major instrument for bolstering economic growth, innovation, employment, environmental protection, and even the efficiency of public spending in Europe. Making sure that it works optimally is therefore crucial to the European economy. This report, which I support, sets out six priority tasks for reforming current legislation which the Commission should propose in the coming months. One such task is improving SME access to public procurement. With this in mind, Parliament proposes modernising the Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) website, supporting the division of public contracts into lots, or promoting the ‘electronic procurement passport’ – which would prove that the economic operator fulfils the conditions required under EU legislation on public contracts. I am very much in favour of this. Among the other objectives, we should also point out that of achieving the best value for money, in particular, by replacing the criterion of lowest price by the criterion of most economically advantageous tender, taking into account the entire life-cycle costs of the relevant goods."@en1
