Content
The course relates to the procedures for awarding public contracts (primarily in the sectors known as "traditional").
Initially, the European and Belgian sources of regulations (currently being revised) are detailed.
Next, the material scope of application (definition of public contracts for work, supplies and services) and the personal scope of application (concept of contracting authority) are studied.
Finally, the successive stages of the procedure of awarding a public contract are reviewed: choice of the means of awarding, drafting and approving the special terms of reference, prior announcement, submission of the bids, examination of the bids (regularity, qualitative selection and choice of the tenderer), drafting of the reasoned decision, details on the tenderer and the unsuccessful tenderers and the conclusion of the contract.
Characteristics of the disputes resulting from public contracts are lastly (briefly) covered.
Teaching methods
Lectures.
In light of the limited number of class hours and the wide range of experience of the Master’s students, the theoretical framework is covered in broad strokes and illustrated by "particular questions", drawn from experience, and which are examined more in detail.
Within the limit of the time available, the students are encouraged to share their professional experience in relation with the "particular questions" covered during the course.
Evaluation methods
Written examination, including theoretical questions (ex. definition of concepts covered during the course) and practical questions (ex. drafting of a reasoned decision for awarding a public contract).
