Municipality of Utrecht
The municipality of Utrecht (Gemeente Utrecht) is part of the Dutch government and
responsible for every task directly connected to the city of Utrecht. This can vary in many
different projects, but something these projects all have in common is that they must be
executed in compliance with legal provisions. Sometimes, these legal provisions are provided
by the EU and therefore it is possible that European law also impacts the local authorities of
Utrecht. An example of European law affecting local authorities is procurement law
(aanbestedingsrecht). Procurement law controls the way governmental instances choose their
private companies to facilitate projects, for example the process of building a new
governmental location.
This relatively unknown subject of law is surprisingly interesting,
because it deals with many aspects of equality between different private parties.
Note: this workshop will be given in Dutch, so we advise to only choose it if you’re Dutch
speaking.
