ALTIUS contributes to Public Procurement Yearbook 2009-2010

William Timmermans and Tim Bruyninckx contributed to the Public Procurement Yearbook 2009-2010. This yearbook contains a number of articles written by leading Belgian procurement law experts. In their contribution, William and Tim propose a number of changes to the general terms and conditions for the performance of procurement contracts entered into with public authorities, as established by Royal Decree of 26 September 1996.

These general terms and conditions seem no longer adapted to the economic reality and are in some ways even detrimental to a swift performance of the procurement contract. Therefore, the article seeks to open the debate and aims to be a starting point for the required reform of these general terms and conditions.
