The concept of public service contracts, which covers contractual relations between competent authorities of Member State and undertakings and encapsulates contractualized obligations to provide adequate services to the public, introduces the need of the principles of transparency and accountability in the selection process and methods of the entrusted undertaking to provide such services. A public service contract in the transport sector may cover: i) transport services satisfying fixed standards of continuity, regularity, capacity and quality; ii) additional transport services; iii) transport services at specified rates and subject to specified conditions, in particular for certain categories of passenger or on certain routes; iv) adaptation of services to actual requirements.
Public procurement and the single market PUBLIC PROCUREMENT AND THE CONCEPT OF PUBLIC MARKETS The main reason for regulating public sector and utilities procurement is to bring their respective markets in parallel to the operation of private markets. European policy makers have recognized the distinctive character of public markets and focused on establishing conditions similar to those that control the operation of private markets. The public markets reflect an economic equation where the demand side is represented by the public sector at large and the utilities, whereas the supply side covers the industry.
This means that public services have a cost and a value attached to them. Cost reflects upon capital considerations, whereas value reflects upon revenue considerations. 24 However, public services lack industrial or commercial character. The ECJ ruled25 that the non-commercial or industrial character of a service is a necessary criterion intended to clarify needs in the general interest. The Court recognized that there might be needs of general interest, which have an industrial and commercial character and that it is also possible private undertakings can meet needs of general interest, which do not have industrial and commercial character.
