CORLIDO INTELLIGENCE | PROCUREMENT BECOMES MORE STRATEGIC
On 8 September 2026, the European Commission presented a proposal to revise the EU public procurement framework. The proposal aims to simplify procurement rules, increase digitalisation and allow public buyers to integrate environmental, social, innovation, security and resilience considerations more explicitly.
For procurement professionals, the broader signal is that purchasing criteria are becoming more multidimensional: price increasingly sits alongside continuity, supplier risk, security, sustainability and innovation.
