S.L. 601.3 ст. 24Occasional joint procurement.

(1) After seeking the approval of the Director and subject to the conditions the latter may impose, two or more contracting authorities may agree to perform certain specific procurements jointly.

(2) Where the estimated value of the joint procurement falls under the threshold established under regulation 9(1)(b), and unless the Director agrees otherwise, the procurement procedure shall be administered by the Director.

(3) Where the conduct of a procurement procedure in its entirety is carried out jointly in the name and on behalf of all the contracting authorities concerned, they shall be jointly responsible for fulfilling their obligations pursuant to these regulations or Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on public procurement as the case may be. This applies also in cases where one contracting authority manages the procedure, acting on its own behalf and on the behalf of the other contracting authorities concerned.

(4) Where the conduct of a procurement procedure is not in its entirety carried out in the name and on behalf of the contracting authorities concerned, they shall be jointly responsible only for those parts carried out jointly. Each contracting authority shall have sole responsibility for fulfilling its obligations pursuant to these regulations or Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on public procurement as the case may be in respect of the parts it conducts in its own name and on its own behalf.
