The Dynamic Purchasing System - A Modern Public Procurement Solution

Abstract

Abstract Public procurement is indeed an inflexible and somewhat immobile field, constantly regulated and monitored by state public authorities. This highlights the need for the legislator to constantly improve, modernise, specialise, develop, and innovate the field of public procurement, taking into account the presence of restrictions, limitations, and unfavourable circumstances manifested in the surrounding economic environment. To achieve this aim, the increasingly varied and complex needs of public institutions that are striving to adapt to the exponential expansion of all spheres of activity must be studied, along with the restrictions created by the permanent economic crisis that generates underfunding at the level of public systems. The dynamic procurement system can play a very important role in the future, as it is a tool that has been often used during the pandemic as an efficient way of carrying out public procurement in a very short time, giving institutions the flexibility to respond to the needs of a changing society. At the same time, it is a modern and novel e-procurement technique, regulated for the first time in 2004. In the same vein, through the provisions of Article 34 of Directive 2014/24/EU and Article 52 of Directive 2014/25/EU, respectively, the European Union has established a digitised single market which calls for the use of electronic procurement tools and methods as part of a comprehensive digital process, supported by the European Commission.
