Consortium Agreements as a Way for Joint Bidding for a Public Contract in the Polish Public Procurement Law
Wojciech Szydlo
DOI: 10.15604/ejss.2018.06.03.001
Abstract
New EU directives on awarding public contracts do not introduce a single regulation on joint bidding for a public contract. Nevertheless, in many EU member states (such as France, the UK, Finland), there are separate regulations for consortium agreements between entrepreneurs. These regulations are quite similar due to harmonization of provisions concerning the public procurement market in the EU. Therefore, such agreements are fully, legally, and economically justified and there are no convincing reasons for declaring such agreements invalid. It should be emphasized that the conclusion of a consortium agreement in order to bid jointly for a public contract is intended to contribute complementarily to the success of the common business undertaking. The successful achievement of the aim requires a joint action of two or more entities and synergy, which result from such a combination and guarantee a suitable value added. The advantages of two models of consortia, i.e. a centralized model and a decentralized model, are broadly discussed. The paper supports the view that a consortium agreement seems to be a relatively flexible instrument of cooperation between entities when jointly bidding for awarding a public contract.

Ayse Ceren Guler and Yegan Kahya
DOI: 10.15604/ejss.2018.06.03.003
Abstract
Gokceada has cultural landscape values that have been shaped with the limited physical conditions and cultural factors of being an island and also reflect the relationship between man and nature from past to present. However, the physical, economic and social balances that have changed in the recent years cause these values to be damaged and even destroyed. One of the most important reasons for this destruction is the lack of awareness about conservation. The concept of “cultural landscape”, which attracts attention to the interaction between “nature” and “culture”, used to define and protect areas that represent the development processes of cultures and settlements shaped by social, economic and cultural influences under the certain physical conditions brought by the natural environment. In this paper, Gokceada’s natural and cultural values will be considered and defined within the concept of cultural landscape which provides an integrated view to all components of these values.
