Social aspects of the reform to the European Union public procurement law

Abstract

Research limitations/implications – the new directives also set new mandatory grounds related to the infringements of social and labour laws for excluding suppliers from the competitions for contracts, though the Paper will not analyse in-depth the legal issues of the labour law. Practical implications – the authors will be focused on some of the most important aspects of the new reform of the European Union public procurement law. The reform is new and approved at the beginning of this year thus there are no much consistent analysis of the social aspects in different stages of the reformed public procurement procedures. The Paper will be relevant to the public and private sectors, academic society and jurisprudence of Lithuania as well as European Union. Originality/Value – the authors will present in-depth legal analysis of the social aspects of the new directives. Such logical systematic analysis will help to correctly interpret the laws.
