Ana Lu\u00edsa Guimar\u00e3es highlights:<\/strong>
\u201cPublic procurement is, above all, an instrument and, as such, not an end in itself.\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The recent update to public procurement thresholds approved by the Government is viewed as broadly positive by experts, as it better reflects the current economic reality and allows for greater administrative flexibility. However, the measure has also raised concerns, particularly regarding its timing, at a moment when a profound review of EU public procurement directives is underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her analysis, Ana Lu\u00edsa Guimar\u00e3es emphasises that public procurement should be regarded as an instrument serving concrete objectives and should evolve and adapt to the needs it seeks to address. While acknowledging that expanding the use of direct awards carries risks \u2014 notably reduced competition and potentially less efficient purchasing decisions \u2014 she notes that practical experience shows the automatic link between competition and better outcomes does not always hold true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With regard to the waiver of prior approval by the Court of Auditors for contracts below \u20ac10 million, Ana Lu\u00edsa Guimar\u00e3es argues in favour of reinforcing ex\u2011post control, accompanied by greater accountability of public officials. Under this model, easing prior control represents a vote of confidence, but also increases the exposure of decision\u2011makers to financial liability, thereby strengthening the requirement for rigour and accountability in the management of public affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
