About

The Public Procurement Network (PPN) is an informal coalition of representatives from European Economic Area (EEA) member countries. This network is designed to foster discussions on various aspects of public procurement, including legal, digital, data, and national policies. By bringing together diverse stakeholders, the network aims to create a collaborative environment where best practices can be shared, new developments can be explored, and both national and European policies can be reviewed and improved.
Focus of the community
The primary objective of the PPN is to enhance collaboration and knowledge sharing among European public procurement policymakers, regulators, developers and practitioners.
