Recital 64

(64) In addition to the possibility for joint procurement between the Commission and one or more Member States, and as provided for in Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509 of the European Parliament and of the Council (39) (the ‘Financial Regulation’), one or more Member States should also be able to request the Commission to launch a procurement on their behalf or in their name for the purchasing of goods and services of critical importance or of crisis-relevant goods and services, in order to leverage the purchasing power and negotiating position of the Commission during the internal market vigilance mode or the internal market emergency mode. Such procurement should cover the acquisition by the contracting authority or contracting entity, by means of a contract, of crisis-relevant works, supplies or services and the acquisition or rental of land, buildings or other immovable property from economic operators chosen by that contracting authority or contracting entity for the purpose of responding to the crisis. The Commission should be able to conduct the relevant procurement procedure on behalf of Member States or in their name based on an agreement between the parties, or act as a wholesaler, by buying, stocking and reselling or donating supplies and services, including rental of land, buildings or other immovable property, to the participating Member States or partner organisations it has selected.
