Abstract

The regulatory framework concerning defense procurement has evolved considerably since the start of the millennium. In addition to the general Public Procurement Directive and the Defense Procurement Directive, the European Commission recently formulated a proposal for a Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR). Nonetheless, defense sector particularities continue to produce tensions in public procurement, and significant blind spots remain.In view of policy objectives to strengthen the European Defense Technological & Industrial Base (EDTIB), it is necessary to first study the current state of EU defense procurement. To that end, we perform an analysis of 14,207 EU27-tenders spanning the period 2009-2020. In addition, a case study approach investigates six tender procedures by the Belgian military, establishing material points of note.Key insights include: (1) the number of defense procurement procedures won by third country bidders is limited, (2) tenders won by non-EU27-tenderers are larger and less competitive on average, and (3) an overly strong focus on price efficiency in public procurement award procedures inhibits attaining EDTIB goals. In short, the data shows a chasm between stated policy aims of strengthening the EDTIB through positive action in public procurement, on the one hand, and public procurement practices, on the other.
管理国防采购:加强欧盟的国防技术和工业基础
自本世纪初以来,国防采购的监管框架发生了重大变化。除了《一般公共采购指令》和《国防采购指令》外,欧盟委员会最近还制定了《外国补贴条例》(FSR)提案。尽管如此,国防部门的特殊性继续造成公共采购的紧张局势,而且仍然存在重大盲点。鉴于加强欧洲国防技术与工业基地的政策目标,有必要首先研究欧盟国防采购的现状。为此,我们对2009-2020年期间14207份欧盟27国投标书进行了分析。此外,案例研究方法调查了比利时军方的六项招标程序,确定了重要的注意事项。关键见解包括:(1)第三国投标人赢得的国防采购程序数量有限,(2)非欧盟27国投标人赢得的投标规模较大,平均竞争力较低,(3)公共采购授予程序过于注重价格效率,阻碍了EDTIB目标的实现。简言之,数据显示,通过公共采购中的积极行动加强EDTIB的既定政策目标与公共采购实践之间存在差距。
