Question 17945 — public procurement

Summary

Mr. Vincent Descoeur questions the Minister of the Economy and Finance on the application of legislation regarding public procurement. On several occasions, the legislator has reaffirmed the objective of direct access for SMEs and SMIs to public procurement. The allotment principle should represent, from this point of view, a guarantee. But today, particularly in public construction contracts, the allotment which should be the rule tends to become the exception. Many public buyers choose to forego allotment, thus creating a very unfavorable environment for small and medium-sized businesses. Through control of legality and through its advisory action to public buyers, the Government has numerous tools to guide this initial choice which strongly conditions the access of SMEs to public markets. That's why he asks her if the Government intends to ensure that these exceptions are all justified at a time when innovative French industrial sectors, such as that of metal construction, are weakened and weakened by the difficulty of direct access to public procurement without being subcontractors of large groups.
