Abstract

This article discusses the issue of social enterprises gaining access to public procurement processes and contracts at the EU and national level. It primarily examines the opportunities for social enterprises to access public procurement contracts provided for in the Public Procurement Directive 2014/24/EU (Public Procurement Directive). It also investigates measures introduced by the Greek government to provide social enterprises with access to public service contracts at a national level through tailor-made law, namely the Social Economy and Social Entrepreneurship Law of 2011 and its amendment in 2016 (Social Entrepreneurship Law of 2011 and amendments).
