My dissertation project deals with the legal scope for amending procured contracts without the need for new procurement. The study addresses the distinctions between non-material changes, material changes, and changes that do or do not affect the overall nature of the contract. The focus is on the possibilities of making changes that are not material, see, for example, Chapter 17, Section 14 of the Public Procurement Act, as this amendment provision can be considered the most complex. The purpose of the thesis project is to analyze the limits of permissible contract changes in public procurement, develop a system for reviewing significant changes, and investigate which contractual solutions can be used to enable permissible changes in a procured contract.
I teach procurement law, competition law, and environmental law (the review process and supervision and sanctions).
