In Spring 2025, with the support of Creative Europe, the Architects\u2019 Council of Europe launched A View from Above: Comparing Public Procurement Guidelines for Architects \u2014 a comprehensive overview of architectural procurement practices across Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by ACE\u2019s Public Procurement & Architectural Design Competition Work
Group (PP\/ADC WG) and compiled by Co-Chair, Kathrin Rapp,<\/strong> this study brings
together key insights from national public procurement guidelines tailored specifically
to the architectural profession: \u201cImproving public procurement procedures is not only about changing the law, but also about improving the application of the law. Therefore, tools like the guidelines play an important role that should not be underestimated\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The publication responds to the European Commission\u2019s 2018 Public Procurement
Guidance for Practitioners\u2014a valuable resource, but one not focused on the unique
needs of the architectural sector. To bridge this gap, ACE reviewed and compared
procurement guidelines from five Member Organisations: Denmark, France,
Germany, Latvia, and Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
