PUBLIC PROCUREMENT – CENTRALISATION AND NEW TRENDS is part of the research project, Safeguarding competition and equal access to Central Purchasing Bodies’ agreements, known as the CPB Project and funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark. As part of the project, a conference was organised in 2023. The conference brought together academics and practitioners working with centralised procurement across Europe. This book contains contributions based on presentations given at the conference as well as some additional chapters within the area of centralisation and new trends in public procurement. The publication is edited by Carina Risvig Hamer, professor of administrative law and public procurement at the University of Copenhagen, Kirsi-Maria Halonen, professor of public economic law at the University of Lapland, and Magdalena Socha, PhD fellow in EU public procurement law at the University of Copenhagen.
