Utilities procurement: the state of play before Brexit

Bovis, Christopher

Abstract

Utilities procurement resembles commercial procurement practices and its regulation provides many deviations from the Public Sector Procurement Directives. Utilities procurement regulation is different from public sector procurement regulation and its development has taken a different path in the European legal integration. This path
adheres basically to the same principles but with notable exceptions and enhanced flexibility for utilities procurement. The exit of the the United Kingdom from the EU brings a dilemma, whether to endorse a regime of three decades and follow its paradigm or create a new set of rules for entities which are operating in the utilities sectors.
