These rules are broadly in line with the directives but there are some significant differences which the Court considers to be unwarranted. 
Dessa regler verensstmmer i stort med direktiven, men det finns vissa vsentliga skillnader som revisionsrtten anser vara obefogade.
In our audit we examined to what extent the EU institutions facilitate access to their public procurement. 
Vid vr granskning underskte vi i vilken utstrckning EU-institutionerna underlttar tilltrdet till sina offentliga upphandlingar.
IV We found that the management and control arrangements of the EU institutions are robust and in general mitigate the risk of errors which could otherwise adversely affect the possibility for economic operators to participate and their fair treatment. 
IV Vi kunde konstatera att EU-institutionernas frvaltnings-och kontrollarrangemang r robusta och i allmnhet minskar risken fr fel som skulle kunna minska ekonomiska aktrers mjlighet att delta eller ventyra den rttvisa behandlingen av dessa aktrer.
However most EU institutions do not systematically monitor the level of participation. 
De flesta EU-institutioner vervakar emellertid inte systematiskt nivn p deltagandet.
VIn 2014 the European Parliament and the Council adopted reformed directives to render procurement easier and administratively less burdensome, in particular with a view to increasing participation of small and medium‐sized enterprises. 
Vr 2014 antog Europaparlamentet och rdet ndrade direktiv fr att frenkla upphandlingarna och minska den administrativa brdan. Det huvudsakliga syftet var att ka sm och medelstora fretags deltagande i upphandlingar.
However we found that, when revising their own procurement rules in 2015, the EU institutions did not facilitate such access by simplifying rules and clarifying grey areas to the fullest possible extent. 
Vi upptckte emellertid att EU-institutionerna, d de sg ver sina upphandlingsregler 2015, inte s mycket som mjligt frenklade reglerna och tydliggjorde grzoner.
Most EU institutions had no policy to undertake market consultation prior to starting the formal procurement procedure. 
De flesta EU-institutioner hade inga regler om att gra en marknadsunderskning innan det formella upphandlingsfrfarandet inleddes.
Moreover contracts could have been divided into lots more frequently in order to stimulate participation, which would have had a positive effect in terms of access for economic operators such as SMEs. 
Dessutom skulle kontrakt oftare ha kunnat delas upp i delar, vilket skulle kunna ha kat deltagandet frn till exempel sm och medelstora fretag.
Executive summary 09 VII Unnecessary hurdles make life difficult for potential tenderers who want to identify procurement opportunities offered by the EU institutions. 
Sammanfattning 09 VII Det finns ondiga hinder som gr det svrare fr potentiella anbudsgivare som vill hitta mjligheter att delta i EU-institutionernas upphandlingar.
The visibility of the EU institutions’ procurement opportunities on the internet is poor. The information available is patchy and spread over many different websites. 
EU-institutionernas upphandlingar r inte tillrckligt synliga p internet. Den information som finns tillgnglig presenteras p ett inkonsekvent stt och r utspridd p mnga olika webbplatser.
The search function of TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) did not always produce satisfactory results. 
Skfunktionen i TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) gav inte alltid tillfredsstllande resultat.
Tools which allow tenders to be submitted electronically have not yet been rolled out in a comprehensive and harmonised manner. 
Verktyg fr elektronisk inlmning av anbud har nnu inte lanserats p ett omfattande och harmoniserat stt.
VIII Economic operators who consider that they have been unfairly treated find it difficult to obtain a rapid review of their complaints and compensation for damages. 
VIII Ekonomiska aktrer som anser sig ha blivit orttvist behandlade har svrt att f en snabb prvning av sina klagoml och ersttning.
Information on the outcome of the EU institutions’ procurement activities is not accessible in a way that allows effective monitoring by the public. 
Information om resultaten av EU-institutionernas upphandlingsverksamhet r inte tillgnglig p ett stt som gr att allmnheten kan utva effektiv vervakning.
IX The Court concludes that the EU institutions can do more to facilitate access to their public procurement and there‐ fore makes the following recommendations so that they adopt a policy to systematically foster wider participation: (a) In order to facilitate the monitoring of the accessibility of their procurement activities, all EU institutions should collect and analyse data both on the initial number of requests to participate and offers received and the num‐ ber of offers which were taken into account for the final award decision. (b) For the upcoming 2016 revision of the EU Financial Regulation the Commission should consolidate all relevant provisions into a single rulebook for public procurement. 
IX Revisionsrtten drar slutsatsen att EU-institutionerna kan gra mer fr att underltta tilltrdet till sina offentliga upphandlingar och lmnar drfr fljande rekommendationer s att de kan anta en politik som systematiskt frmjar ett bredare deltagande: a) Fr att gra det lttare att vervaka hur tillgnglig deras upphandlingsverksamhet r br samtliga EU-institutioner samla in och analysera uppgifter om bde det ursprungliga antalet anbud eller anbudsanskningar och det antal anbud som beaktades fr det slutliga tilldelningsbeslutet. b) Infr den kommande versynen av EU:s budgetfrordning 2016 br kommissionen samla alla relevanta bestmmelser i en srskild regelbok fr offentlig upphandling.
Participation of small and medium‐sized enterprises should be explicitly encouraged. (c) The EU institutions should proactively use preliminary market consultations wherever appropriate with a view to preparing the procurement and informing economic operators of their procurement plans. (d) The EU institutions should divide contracts into lots wherever possible to increase participation in their procure‐ ment procedures. (e) The EU institutions should create a common electronic one‐stop shop for their procurement activities allowing economic operators to find all relevant information in a single online location and to interact with the EU insti‐ tutions through this website. (f) The Commission should propose a mechanism for a rapid review of complaints from economic operators who consider that they have been unfairly treated. 
Sm och medelstora fretags deltagande br uttryckligen uppmuntras. c) EU-institutionerna br nr det r lmpligt proaktivt anvnda preliminra marknadsunderskningar fr att frbereda upphandlingen och informera ekonomiska aktrer om sina upphandlingsplaner. d) EU-institutionerna br nr s r mjligt dela upp kontrakt i delar fr att ka deltagandet i sina upphandlingsfrfaranden. e) EU-institutionerna br skapa en enda gemensam elektronisk kontaktpunkt fr sin upphandlingsverksamhet dr ekonomiska aktrer kan f tillgng till all relevant information p en enda webbplats och ha kontakt med EU-institutionerna. f) Kommissionen br fresl en mekanism fr snabb prvning av klagoml frn ekonomiska aktrer som anser att de har behandlats orttvist.
Such a review should take place before economic operators may turn to the EU Ombudsman or to the EU Courts. (g) To allow effective ex post monitoring of their procurement activities the EU institutions should set up a single public repository of information related to their procurement contracts which could be developed as part of TED eTendering. (h) The European Anti‐Fraud Office OLAF should produce reports and statistics on the different types of allegations under investigation and the outcome of these investigations. (i) The EU institutions should use peer reviews for mutual learning and exchange of best practice. 
Prvningen ska gras innan de ekonomiska aktrerna fr vnda sig till Europeiska ombudsmannen eller EU-domstolen. g) Fr att mjliggra effektiv vervakning i efterhand av sin upphandlingsverksamhet br EU-institutionerna upprtta ett offentligt arkiv med information om sina upphandlingskontrakt. Arkivet skulle kunna tas fram som en del av TED:s eTendering. h) Europeiska byrn fr bedrgeribekmpning, Olaf, br ta fram rapporter och statistik om de olika typer av anklagelser som utreds och om utredningarnas resultat. i) EU-institutionerna br anvnda sig av inbrdes granskningar fr att lra av varandra och utbyta bsta praxis.
Introduction 10 01 This report begins with a short overview of the framework for public procure‐ ment (tendering for works, supplies and services) by the EU institutions and of our audit approach. 
Inledning 10 01 Denna rapport inleds med en kortfattad verblick ver ramen fr EU-institutionernas offentliga upphandling (anbudsfrfaranden fr bygg-och anlggningsarbeten, varor och tjnster) och vr revisionsmetod.
Have clear and good rules been defined? 
Finns det tydliga och bra regler?
What happens if an economic operator feels that he has been treated in an unfair manner? 
Vad hnder om en ekonomisk aktr tycker att han har behandlats orttvist?
And finally, do the EU institutions report on the results of their procurement activities in a way which ensures accountability? 
Och slutligen, rapporterar EU-institutionerna om resultaten av sin upphandlingsverksamhet p ett stt som garanterar ansvarighet?
02 Public procurement policy is a key instrument in developing the single market and in achieving smart, sustainable and inclusive growth while ensuring the most efficient and effective use of public funds. 
02 Politiken fr offentlig upphandling r ett centralt verktyg nr det gller att utveckla den inre marknaden och skapa smart och hllbar tillvxt fr alla. Samtidigt r den en garanti fr att offentliga medel utnyttjas effektivt och ndamlsenligt.
Public procurement rules are designed to benefit both economic operators and contracting authorities. 
Reglerna fr offentlig upphandling r tnkta att gynna bde ekonomiska aktrer och upphandlande myndigheter.
The objective is to develop market opportunities for the former whilst at the same time increas‐ ing the choice of potential contractors available to the latter. 
Mlet r att skapa marknadsmjligheter fr ekonomiska aktrer samtidigt som myndigheter fr tillgng till ett strre urval av potentiella uppdragstagare.
If the contracting authorities facilitate access to their public procurement, this is likely to trigger more offers in response to their procurement needs. 
Om de upphandlande myndigheterna underlttar tilltrdet till sina offentliga upphandlingar kommer detta sannolikt att generera fler erbjudanden som svar p deras upphandlingsbehov.
More competition should then result in better value for money for the taxpayer (see Figure 1). 
Tanken r att den kade konkurrensen kommer att ge skattebetalarna mer valuta fr pengarna (se figur 1).
03 In 2014 the European Parliament and the Council agreed to reform public pro‐ curement policy in the EU. 
03 Europaparlamentet och rdet beslutade 2014 att genomfra en reform av politiken fr offentliga upphandlingar i EU.
Amongst the main features of the reform package were measures to remove barriers to market access, in particular for small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs). 
En av de viktigaste punkterna i reformpaketet var tgrder fr att undanrja hinder fr marknadstilltrde, i synnerhet fr sm och medelstora fretag.
Our report examines to what extent the EU institutions ́ procurement practices facilitate such access. 
I denna rapport undersker vi i vilken utstrckning EU-institutionernas upphandlingspraxis underlttar sdant tilltrde.
1 See Article 102(2) of the EU Financial Regulation which allows exceptions to this rule only when use is made of the negotiated procedure. 
1 Se artikel 102.2 i EU:s budgetfrordning, som endast tillter undantag frn denna regel i de fall d frhandlat frfarande anvnds.

The framework for public procurement by the EU institutions 04 The award of public contracts has to comply with the principles of the Treaties, and in particular the free movement of goods, freedom of establishment and the freedom to provide services, as well as the principles deriving therefrom, such as equal access and equal treatment, non‐discrimination, mutual recognition, proportionality, fair competition, publicity and transparency. 
Ramen fr EU-institutionernas offentliga upphandlingar 04 Tilldelningen av offentliga kontrakt mste flja principerna i frdragen, srskilt de som gller fri rrlighet fr varor, etableringsfrihet och frihet att tillhandahlla tjnster samt de principer som fljer drav, bland annat om lika tilltrde och likabehandling, icke-diskriminering, msesidigt erknnande, proportionalitet, lojal konkurrens, offentlighet och ppenhet.
05 Public procurement in EU Member States is governed by Directive 2014/24/EU2 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘2014 Procurement Directive’) and a number of other directives which establish common rules which contracting authorities have to follow for procurements above a certain value. 
05 Den offentliga upphandlingen i EU:s medlemsstater regleras av direktiv 2014/24/ EU2 (nedan kallat 2014 rs upphandlingsdirektiv) och ett antal andra direktiv som innehller gemensamma bestmmelser som upphandlande myndigheter mste flja fr upphandlingar som verstiger ett visst vrde.
The latter have adopted their own rules which are broadly in line with the 2014 Procurement Directive with some important exceptions3. 
De har i stllet antagit egna regler som i stora drag verensstmmer med 2014 rs upphandlingsdirektiv, med vissa viktiga undantag3.
For the EU institutions financed from the general budget procurement rules are laid down in the financial rules as last amended in October 20154 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘EU Financial Regulation’) and in their rules of application as last amended in October 20155 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘RAP’). 
Fr de EU-institutioner som finansieras genom den allmnna budgeten faststlls upphandlingsregler i de finansiella regler som senast ndrades i oktober 20154 (nedan kallade EU:s budgetfrordning) och i tillmpningsfreskrifterna fr dem, som senast ndrades i oktober 20155 (nedan kallade tillmpningsfreskrifterna).
The procurement rules of the European Central Bank are set out in a decision6 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘ECB rules on procurement’), adopted by its Executive Board in February 2016. 
Europeiska centralbankens upphandlingsregler (nedan kallade ECB:s upphand-lingsregler) faststlldes i ett beslut6 som antogs av ECB:s direktion i februari 2016.

Public procurement procedures: how do they work? 
Offentliga upphandlingar: hur fungerar de?
06 Based on the EU Financial Regulation the Commission’s internal procurement guide7 distinguishes 10 different procedures for procurement (see Box 1). 
06 I kommissionens interna handbok om upphandlingar7, som bygger p EU:s budgetfrordning, beskrivs tio olika frfaranden fr upphandling (se ruta 1).
The choice to be made depends on various factors, in particular on the estimated value of the contract. 
Vilket som vljs beror p olika faktorer, i synnerhet kontraktets uppskattade vrde.
The most important steps of the procurement process are shown in Figure 3. 
De viktigaste stegen i upphandlingsfrfarandet visas i figur 3.

Introduction 13 The procedural options under the EU Financial Regulation Open procedure: Standard procedure that may be used for any contract starting with publication of a con‐ tract notice in the Official Journal (OJ). 
Inledning 13 Olika frfaranden inom ramen fr EU:s budgetfrordning ppen anbudsinfordran: standardfrfarande som kan anvndas fr alla kontrakt som inleds med offentliggrande av ett upphandlingsmeddelande i Europeiska unionens officiella tidning (EUT).
Restricted procedure: Standard procedure in two steps starting with publication of a contract notice in the OJ that may be used for any contract. 
Selektiv anbudsinfordran: standardfrfarande i tv steg som inleds med offentliggrande av ett upphandlingsmeddelande i EUT som kan anvndas fr alla kontrakt.
Any interested economic operator may ask to participate, but only those in‐ vited may submit a tender that will be evaluated in the second step. 
Alla intresserade ekonomiska aktrer fr anska om att delta, men enbart de som bjuds in fr lmna ett anbud som sedan utvrderas under det andra steget.
A variant of this procedure is the dynamic purchasing system with exclusive use of electronic means. 
En variant p detta frfarande r det dynamiska inkpssystemet som enbart anvnder elektroniska medel.
Competitive procedure with negotiation: A procedure which is similar to the restricted procedure and that may be used only under specific cases regardless of the value of the purchase. 
Frhandlat frfarande under konkurrens: ett frfarande som liknar det selektiva frfarandet och som enbart fr anvndas i srskilda fall oavsett inkpets vrde.
The submitted tenders (techni‐ cal and financial offers) can be negotiated. 
De lmnade anbuden (tekniska och ekonomiska anbud) r frhandlingsbara.
Procedures following a call for expressions of interest (CEI): The CEI preselects candidates or registers ven‐ dors who may later be invited to submit offers in different procurement procedures. 
Frfaranden efter inbjudan att anmla intresse: genom en inbjudan att anmla intresse vljer man p frhand ut kandidater eller registrerar leverantrer som senare kan komma att uppmanas att lmna anbud i olika upphandlingsfrfaranden.
Negotiated procedure without publication of a contract notice: Exceptional procedure that can only be used in certain cases or circumstances (for example extreme urgency). 
Frhandlat frfarande utan fregende offentliggrande av ett upphandlingsmeddelande: undan-tagsfrfarande som endast kan anvndas i vissa fall eller under vissa omstndigheter (till exempel i mycket brdskande fall).
Negotiated procedure for middle and low value contracts: The contracting authority must invite economic operators to tender who have shown their interest during ex ante publicity, and can, in addition invite candi‐ dates of its choice. 
Frhandlat frfarande fr kontrakt till medelhgt och lgt vrde: den upphandlande myndigheten mste bjuda in sdana ekonomiska aktrer att lmna anbud som har visat intresse fre offentliggrandet, och kan dessutom vlja att bjuda in egna kandidater.
For very low value contracts negotiation with a single candidate chosen by the contracting authority is allowed. 
Fr kontrakt till mycket lgt vrde tillts frhandling med en enda kandidat som valts har ut av den upphandlande myndigheten.
Competitive dialogue: Used for complex procurements where the contracting authority is unable to define the means of meeting its needs or of assessing what the market can offer in terms of technical or financial or legal solutions without a dialogue with potential tenderers. 
Konkurrensprglad dialog: anvnds fr komplicerade upphandlingar dr den upphandlande myndigheten inte kan faststlla hur dess behov ska uppfyllas eller hur den ska bedma vad marknaden kan erbjuda i form av tekniska, finansiella eller rttsliga lsningar utan att fra en dialog med potentiella anbudsgivare.
Innovation partnership: Two step procedure for the acquisition of an innovative product that still has to be developed and for which no equivalent product is available on the market. 
Innovationspartnerskap: frfarande i tv steg fr frvrv av en innovativ produkt som nnu inte har utvecklats och dr det inte finns ngon tillgnglig motsvarighet p marknaden.
Design contest: This enables the contracting authority to acquire a plan or design proposed by a jury after a competitive procedure with or without the award of prizes. 
Projekttvling: genom detta frfarande kan den upphandlande myndigheten frvrva en ritning eller en projektbeskrivning som utses av en jury efter ett konkurrensprglat frfarande med eller utan utdelning av priser.
The winner or winners are then invited to nego‐ tiate before signature of the subsequent contract. 
Vinnaren eller vinnarna bjuds sedan in till en frhandling innan ett kontrakt skrivs under.
