Foreword

Welcome to the revamped Public Procurement Gazette!

The updated design of our newsletter is intended to complement the launch of the Public Buyers Community Platform, our new and dynamic digital asset for EU public procurement.

The Public Procurement Gazette will continue to bring you the latest on the procurement sector directly from the European Commission. In addition to DG GROW’s regular updates, the newsletter will now also feature activities, resources, and events from all communities hosted on the platform.
The Public Buyers Community Platform
We are live and ready for you!

DG GROW is proud to announce the official launch of the Public Buyers Community Platform.

This brand-new digital space is dedicated to facilitating cooperation and knowledge sharing between public buyers across the European Union.

Those of you who have an interest or are working in public procurement in the EU and the European Commission can use this platform to meet and work together to actively advance public purchasing.

What’s in it for you? Explore the Public Buyers Community Platform.
