The EU institutions use public procurement contracts to buy services, works and goods, e.g. studies, training, conference organisation, IT equipment. They award public contracts through calls for tender.
As part of the single market, EU law sets out minimum public procurement rules to safeguard the core principles of transparency, equal treatment, open competition, and sound procedural management. This creates a competitive, open and well-regulated procurement market to support growth in jobs and investments in the EU.

A detailed explanation of the purpose, setup, and legal basis of EDES, with a link to the list of financial operators that are excluded from contracts financed by the EU budget or have been sanctioned for grave professional misconduct, criminal activities, or significant deficiencies in complying with their obligations.
The EDES is the system established by the Commission to reinforce the protection of the Union's financial interests and to ensure sound financial management. It replaced the Early Warning System and the Central Exclusion Database as of 1 January 2016. The EDES rules are found in the Financial Regulation. The EDES includes a number of improvements to the current tools by the setting-up of a Panel and the creation of a database. The rules have been applicable since 2016 to all contracts, grant agreements, prizes, financial instruments and remunerated experts, as well as for the implementation of the budget under indirect management. The purpose of the EDES is the protection of the Union's financial interests against unreliable persons and entities applying for EU funds or having concluded legal commitments with the Commission, other Union Institutions, bodies, offices or agencies. In particular, the EDES ensures: The information on early detection/exclusion/financial penalty may stem from: The grounds for exclusion are listed under article 136[1] of the Financial Regulation. They concern: A Panel is set-up to assess requests and issue recommendations for exclusion and financial penalty on cases referred to it by an authorising officer of a Union institution, Union body, European office or body entrusted with the implementation the of CFSP actions [Article 143[1] of the Financial Regulation]. The competent authorising officer will refer a case to the Panel for a central assessment when there are no final judgments or final administrative decisions related to the exclusion and its duration or to the financial penalty, and their publication. When the contracting authority decides to deviate from the recommendation of the panel, it shall justify such decision to the panel. The Panel will also be competent to ensure the rights of defence of the person or entity concerned. It is then the competent authorising officer that takes the decision on the basis of the panel recommendation to exclude and or impose a financial penalty and possibly publish the related information on the Commission's website.Time frame
