Under EU public procurement directives, which of the following are procedures in which there is no commercial negotiation allowed?

Under the European Union public procurement directives, all public sector bodies must abide by

certain rules when they procure goods and services over a threshold value. These rules are codified

under 5 procurement procedures:

1. Open Procedure

2. Restricted Procedure

3. Competitive Dialogue

4. Competitive Procedure with Negotiation

5. Innovation Partnerships.

Under normal circumstances, there is no commercial negotiation allowed under the two most

commonly used procedure, Open and Restricted. Under these procedures, the prices and terms and

conditions of contract should be decided via reference only to the tenderers' responses to the

buyer's requests for tenders, and not through 'post-tender negotiation'. Under the other procedure,

negotiation within the rules is permitted. Interested learners can read more about these procedures
