When investigating the rules in fores it is always adviceable to take a look att the  Council directives on Public procurement. The national legislation is of course of major importance. If however the national legislation and the directives do not correspond, due to the direct effect of the directives, when you come to the buttom lines it is in almost every situation the directives that counts.

You can follow the National Implementing Measures here. The overall Union policy on public procurement can de studied on Scad Plus. Green Paper "Public procurement in the European Union - Exploring the way forward" gives you a good idea of what´s to come. 

You will also find a collection of links to pages with legal information och of course links to other pages of use and interest.
