Please note that the Proposing Organization is not a public law body pursuant to Article 2, paragraph 1, point 4, of Directive 2014/24/EU and, therefore, as indicated in the aforementioned legislation, is not required to apply the national provisions implementing the European Directives on public procurement (in Italy, Legislative Decree 36/2023).
