Detailed Course Content
The new Public Contracts Code (Legislative Decree 31 March 2023, n. 36) represents an element of great innovation, not only legal and technical, but also cultural, in the regulation of national public procurement. Drawing its origin from the delegated measures of the PNRR, the public procurement reform introduces a radical change of perspective in the regulation of the matter, orienting itself towards the new founding principles of "result", "trust" and "market access" and presents itself as the first "self-applicable" Consolidated Law, as the detailed regulatory provisions have already been implemented in its annexes. Starting from a comparative analysis with the previous discipline, the course analytically addresses the innovations introduced by the new Code starting from the general principles, analyzing the new figure of the Sole Project Manager and examining the most important operational profiles in the work sectors and in the provision of services and supplies up to the analysis of public company procurement regulations. The knowledge acquired are accordance with points 11,16 and 17 of the the Agenda 2030.
