Danish procurement law refers to the legal framework that governs the procurement of goods, services, and works by public authorities in Denmark. The aim of the procurement law is to ensure that public authorities award contracts in a transparent, non-discriminatory, and competitive manner.
The Danish government procurement methods include the following:
Open procedure: A public tender process in which all interested suppliers may participate.
Restricted procedure: A public tender process in which only pre-selected suppliers are invited to participate.
Competitive dialogue: A negotiated procurement process in which the public authority engages in a dialogue with a number of potential suppliers to arrive at the most suitable solution.
Negotiated procedure without prior publication: A procurement process in which the public authority directly negotiates with one or more suppliers without prior publication of a tender notice.
Framework agreement: A type of agreement between a public authority and one or more suppliers, which establishes the terms and conditions for the procurement of goods, services, or works during a specified period of time.
These procurement methods must comply with the EU procurement directives, which ensure that public contracts are awarded in a fair and transparent manner, and that equal treatment is given to all potential suppliers.
