These regulations, in their consolidated version are composed by 290 articles organized in 9 Parts, plus 16 Schedules. They transpose the provisions of Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February, 2014, on public procurement. They regulate all the procurement procedures involving bodies governed by public law that are initiated after their entry into force. The 1st Part identifies more in details cases of applicability and non-applicability. The 1st Part also provides for the Administration of the procurement process of public contracts, according to their value; introduces and describes the Office of the Director of Contracts, the Contracting Authority, the Centralized Purchasing Bodies. The description of joint procurement involving two or more contracting authorities, even from different Member States is also provided for in this Part to perform certain specific procurements and mixed procurement as well as the calculation of the estimated value of a procurement procedure - the Contract Value -. The rest of Part 1 is dedicated to the Principles underlying the Procurement Process, such as clarity of the documents, equal treatment, transparency and proportionality as well as the procedures to be followed for the publication of the tender, the market consultations prior the launching of the procurement procedure, the communication requirements, the identification of the tenderer, the selection of the offer.

Part 6 faces the exclusion and the black listing of economic operators (on grounds of conviction, failure to abide with obligations concerning taxes or social contributions etc.), including the description of waiver and the filing of objection by an operator aggrieved by a decision of exclusion.
