Dear Karen:
The Advisory Committee on Procurement and Contracts is provided for in the
1997 Financial Regulation, Article 63.
http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/en/consleg/main/1977/en_1977X1231_index.html.
What the Commission did on Wednesday was to adopt amendments to Commission
Regulation No. 3418/93.
http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/en/consleg/main/1993/en_1993R3418_index.html
It is an implementing regulation for the general Financial Regulation. The
monetary amounts will be changed in Articles 106-110.
I assume, since you mentioned CELEX, that you have found these legal texts.
I have not been able to locate any general, public, readable info on the
CCAM apart from the regulations. Each institution has a CCAM. A CCAM
reviews all proposed contracts over a specified limit prior to the contract
award. It checks to make sure that all procedures - public notices,
requests for proposals, opening of bids, analysis of bids, etc. - have been
followed and that the recommendation for the winning bid is justified.
There are detailed manuals for Commission officials on the preparation of
dossiers for CCAM review. I presume you could request copies under access
to document rules.

Can anyone help please? I am trying to find background information, its
function etc, on CCAM (commission consultative des achats et des marchés) as
mentioned below. From Celex searches I think this translates to Advisory
Committee on Procurements and Contracts (ACPC-JRC). Can anyone suggest
where to look - I've tried calling the Commission but the relevant officials
are not answering their phones!
Thanks
Réforme: la Commission supprime l'avis préalable pour les marchés inférieurs
à 500.000 euros
Brussels, 15 November 2000
La Commission européenne a décidé de relever de 46.000 euros à 500.000
euros le seuil de saisine de la CCAM (commission consultative des achats et
des marchés) (Action n° 89 du Livre blanc sur la Réforme). Le nombre de d
ossiers traités par la CCAM devrait être réduit des deux tiers passant de
750 en 1999 à 250 environ. La réforme adoptée aujourd'hui s'inscrit dans le
cadre de la responsabilisation des ordonnateurs et de la rationalisation de
s contrôles internes. Il s'agit d'une mesure temporaire car le Livre blanc
sur la Réforme (action 65) prévoit la suppression pure et simple de l'avis
préalable de la CCAM. Cette suppression ne sera définitive qu'après l'adopt
ion par le Conseil et le Parlement du projet de refonte du Règlement
financier que la Commission a proposée le 26 juillet dernier.
