For Confindustria, the new Procurement Code should contain a framework through which all economic actors can support the digital, economic and sustainable transition. And, given the impact, the entry into force of the law, scheduled for 31 March, should be pushed back by a year to allow all operators to become familiar with and familiarise themselves with the new features.

Sarebbe inoltre necessario che le stazioni appaltanti e gli operatori economici possano disporre di un sistema di norme completo e di immediata attuazione.  E’ fondamentale, inoltre, disegnare e attuare un vero modello di Governance del Codice Appalti che sia in grado di effettuare una costante ricognizione sullo stato di attuazione delle norme e sulle eventuali difficoltà che potranno riscontrare le stazioni appaltanti nella fase di applicazione.

Confindustria also took a negative view of the stable raising of the thresholds for direct awarding for services and supplies to EUR 140,000, which should be raised to EUR 80,000. It also pointed out that ad hoc legislation for service contracts, which is necessary because public contracts for services and supplies have their own specificity, appears to be disregarded.
