Together, these will make it easier for all suppliers to bid for and win public procurement contracts.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The new measures will increase the visibility of low-value contract opportunities and make the bidding process quicker and simpler across the wider public sector. Complex forms, such as Pre-Qualification Questionnaires, are now abolished for low value contracts.

This grants public bodies the ability to limit competition to mutuals and social enterprises that meet the tests set out in the directive.
