The document provides a summary of the evaluation of EU public procurement directives. It finds that the directives are effective in increasing transparency and competition, resulting in estimated savings of 2.1-4% of contract values. However, cross-border procurement remains low and there are differences in implementation among member states. The directives are also found to be relevant, efficient and consistent with other EU policies, but with room for improvement regarding costs and unintended consequences. Overall, the directives are seen to provide EU added value by facilitating the single market, though greater coordination is still needed due to implementation differences.
