EU Public Procurement Legislation (Consolidated)

European Union · aktualizacje: weekly · eu-public-procurement-law

Consolidated EU public-procurement legislation — every consolidated version of every regulation, directive and decision in force that EUR-Lex itself files under directory chapter 06.30 Public contracts and its sub-codes (general; public works, supply and services contracts; other public contracts), in English, taken from the Publications Office’s keyless CELLAR repository in the publisher’s own Formex XML. Measured on 24 August 2026: 58 consolidated versions of 15 acts — the Concessions Directive 2014/23, the classic Directive 2014/24 and the Utilities Directive 2014/25 in six or seven versions each as the thresholds are revised every two years, the Defence and Security Procurement Directive 2009/81 in eleven, the two Remedies Directives 89/665 and 92/13, the Common Procurement Vocabulary Regulation and the eForms Implementing Regulation 2019/1780 among them — and, riding along under the same chapter, the ECB’s Eurosystem procurement Guideline, the skimmed-milk-powder tendering Regulation 2016/2080 in nine versions and three utilities-exemption decisions. Stated rather than hidden: Directive 2007/66 is an amending act whose text lives inside the two Remedies Directives; the International Procurement Instrument, the ESPD Implementing Regulation and the thresholds Regulation 2023/2496 have never been amended, so the publisher has no consolidated version of them; and the Foreign Subsidies Regulation is filed under competition and ships in the EU competition dataset. One record is one article or one annex, so a provision can be cited and retrieved on its own. Identity carries the date: a record’s key is the consolidated CELEX number, which names the act and the date its text was in force from, so the same article across successive consolidations is a series of records a buyer can diff. Each record states the act and its title, the consolidation date and layer, the ELI, whether a later consolidated version of the same act exists in the release, the Part/Title/Chapter it sits under, every amending act folded into the consolidation, and — read off the publisher’s own consolidation marks — which amending act changed that particular provision. Formulae published as images are omitted and counted. The directory codes that define the dataset ride on every record, so an act the publisher files under two of these datasets says so in both. Reuse rests on Commission Decision 2011/833/EU, and the source acknowledgement, the statement of what was changed and the notice that consolidated texts have no legal effect ride on every record. Every record carries its source URL, fetch timestamp, HTTP status and the SHA-256 of both the raw response and the extracted record. Every release ships a manifest with every file’s SHA-256 and a Merkle root over every chunk hash, which the buyer can recompute from the downloaded files. record_id and chunk_id are stable across releases. Personal data is screened out inside the pipeline before any hash is computed.
