Under EU public procurement directives, which of the following are procedures in which there is no commercial negotiation allowed?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, C

Under the European Union public procurement directives, all public sector bodies must abide by certain rules when they procure goods and services over a threshold value. These rules are codified under 5 procurement procedures:

1. Open Procedure

2. Restricted Procedure

3. Competitive Dialogue

4. Competitive Procedure with Negotiation

5. Innovation Partnerships.

Under normal circumstances, there is no commercial negotiation allowed under the two most commonly used procedure, Open and Restricted. Under these procedures, the prices and terms and conditions of contract should be decided via reference only to the tenderers' responses to the buyer's requests for tenders, and not through 'post-tender negotiation'. Under the other procedure, negotiation within the rules is permitted. Interested learners can read more about these procedures here.

I feel like Innovation Partnerships might have some flexibility, but I can't recall if they allow negotiations or not.

I’m pretty certain that the Competitive Dialogue involves negotiations, so it can’t be the answer.

I remember practicing a question about procurement procedures, and I think the Restricted Procedure might allow some negotiation, but I could be wrong.

I think the Open Procedure is one where there’s no negotiation, but I’m not completely sure.

Okay, let's see. The "one switch at a time" approach sounds like it would minimize risk and allow for easier rollback if needed. I'll go with those two.

Okay, let me think this through. I believe the building block gaps are identified in the earlier phases, so the answer is likely A - Preliminary Phase and Phase A.

Not sure if creating a full mitigation plan for low-priority risks is necessary, though. That feels like overkill, right?

I practiced a similar question, and I think it pointed towards “No Data” being the answer as well. That feels familiar.

I feel like checking the DNS resolution is important too. What if it's not pointing to the WAF address correctly?
