The second meeting in Prague
October 2014
GreenARCH in a European project involving Italy, Fran-ce, Spain,
UK and Czech Republic. It sprung from the consideration of the need
of young architects to find their place in national and European
contexts, to acquire practical experience, relevant with their
interests and studies, and possibly integrate themselves quickly
into the labour market. In fact, young professionals need
spe-cialized expertise and acquire skills to spend in the mar-ket,
challenging its over-saturation and the economic crisis.

The new European Directive about public procurement October
2014
The Directive 2014/24/EU on Public Procurement provides a
rationalized sequential mapping and definition for all public
competitions. In particular, it rules procedures, techniques for
procedures, preparation, transparency and choice/award of
participants. Following to this general section, the Directive
concentrates on particular procurement regimes among which there
are Design Con-tests, provided specifically for architecture and
planning. For more information:
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=uriserv:OJ.L_.2014.094.01.0065.01.ENG
The Directive 2014/24/EU states the existence of 7 types of
competition: 1. Open procedure (art. 27) - any interested economic
operator may submit a tender in respon-se to a call for
competition, accompanied by the information for qualitative
selection that is re-quested by the contracting authority. 2.
Restricted procedure (art. 28) - any economic operator invited may
submit a request to participate in response to a call for
competition. 3. Competitive procedure with negotiation (art.29) -
any economic operator may submit a request to participate in
response to a call for competition by providing the information for
qua-litative selection that is requested by the contracting
authority. The information provided shall be sufficiently precise
to enable economic operators to identify the nature and scope of
the procurement and decide whether to request to participate in the
procedure. 4. Competitive dialogue (art.30) - it is rarely used in
most EU countries. Contracting authori-ties shall open, with the
participants selected to participate to tenders, a dialogue the aim
of which shall be to identify and define the means best suited to
satisfying their needs. 5. Innovation Partnership (art. 31) - it is
a new procedure introduced in 2014. In the procure-ment documents,
the contracting authority shall identify the need for an innovative
product, service or works that cannot be met by purchasing
products, services or works already available on the market. The
contracting authority may decide to set up the innovation
partnership with one partner or with several partners conducting
separate research and development activities. 6. Use of negotiated
procedure without prior publication (art. 32) - it is rarely used.
It may be used for public works contracts, public supply contracts
and public service contracts where no tenders or no suitable
tenders or no requests to participate or have been submitted, where
the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a
particular economic operator, or for reasons of extreme urgency. 7.
Procedures in design contests (art. 79) - Contracting authorities
that intend to carry out a design contest shall make known their
intention by means of a contest notice. The jury shall be composed
exclusively of natural persons who are independent of participants
in the con-test.Where a particular professional qualification is
required from participants in a contest, at least a third of the
members of the jury shall have that qualification or an equivalent
qualifica-tion.
