Central Purchasing Bodies

last updated: 8th August 2011

A central purchasing body is defined as a contracting authority which:

  • acquires supplies and/or services intended for contracting authorities; or
  • awards public contracts or concludes framework agreements for works, supplies or services intended for contracting authorities
     

Institutions purchasing works, supplies or services through a central purchasing body will be deemed to have complied with the procedures insofar as the central purchasing body has complied with them.

The concept of a central purchasing body, therefore, recognises the position of the sector's various Regional Consortia, National Working Parties and other groupings of institutions that work together to prepare contracts, framework agreements, etc for the benefits of participants that are named in the original contract notice published in the OJEU.
