What is aggregated procurement and why do it?
By buying together we can deliver three main benefits to our community:
1. Volume discounts/economy of scale – hopefully offered as something of value!
2. Especially for small NRENs – access to markets previously accessed via resellers
3. Efficiency – average OJEU costs €60k

How can it be done?
Assuming we are considering bodies bound by the EC Procurement Directive (and their National Laws incorporating this) for values over threshold there are 2 main approaches:
1. In-house award – “Teckal”2. Centralised Purchasing bodies – framework contracts
DANTE NREN
Validation criteria: Control, 90% of activities, no private participation
Scope, variation, duration, beneficiaries, numbers, agreement award
