Book excerpt: EU Directive 2014/24 on public procurement aims to establish public procurement as a strategic market-based instrument which is to be used in order to achieve sustainable development, while ensuring the most efficient use of public funds. In order to achieve these aims, the Directive includes numerous references to the environment in its detailed provisions, as well as states that environmental law must be respected as a principle of procurement. At the same time, the Directive's strengthened focus on the environment is accompanied by increased references to efficiency, best value for money, and competition. Moreover, it includes competition as another principle of procurement.[Bokinfo].
