Summary
Ms. Véronique Ludmann draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the pricing and market access arrangements for public purchasing centers. If the mission of these structures, like the UGAP, is to simplify administrative procedures and pool costs, the reality on the ground reveals price distortions that are difficult to achieve. acceptable in a context of necessary budgetary rigor. Many local elected officials note that the prices of certain common supplies offered via these centers are sometimes much higher than those charged by local distribution channels or large professional retailers. The MP underlines that this situation contravenes the constitutional principle of good use of public funds. She recalls that the order Public policy must not only be a tool for legal simplification, but must act as a lever for economic justice. The de facto eviction of SMEs and local businesses in favor of large national providers weakens the territories and contradicts the ambition of economic sovereignty held by the majority. The effectiveness of public purchasing must in fact be measured by its capacity to combine direct economy and support for local vitality. She therefore questions him about the control measures that the Government intends to implement to more strictly regulate the margins of distributors who are partners of purchasing centers. She also asks whether a strengthening of the allotment is envisaged in order to guarantee real equality of access to markets for businesses in the territories, thus ensuring that public procurement remains at the service of the general interest and territorial equity.
