Result of
Auroux working group (PDF)
The 2007 judgment of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in
Jean Auroux v Commune de Roanne, Case 220/05
(Auroux) has raised significant questions in
relation to the scope of application of the EU public procurement
rules to land development agreements.
The PLA has considered the implications of Auroux for a number
of different land development situations and has produced this
paper to share its views, as at 22 June 2009, on the application of
Directive 2004/18/EC on the coordination of procedures for the
award of public works contracts, public supply contracts and public
service contracts and related EC law, implemented in the UK by the
Public Contracts Regulations 2006 and the Public Contracts
(Scotland) Regulations 2006.
The paper has been produced following a significant amount of
work by the PLA's Auroux working group, under the leadership of
Duncan Osler from MacRoberts LLP. The paper will be kept
under review due to the developments occurring in this area.
