- the challenges for public procurement in extreme and unforeseen emergencies, including COVID-19
- the scrutiny of direct awards and potential legal challenges and sanctions
- the joint centralised procurement of vaccines in short timeframes and the benefits and pitfalls of such approach
- in what circumstances exclusivity, including due to IP rights or technical barriers, can justify derogation from public procurement procedures
- what changes do U.K. companies face in public procurement procedures in the E.U., and vice versa, in light of Brexit
