Self-Employed Workers’ Statute: new provisions for participation to public procurement procedures
- 06/03/2017
On 6th March, the Chamber of Deputies will vote on the Bill on self-employment, so-called “Statuto dei lavoratori autonomi” (Self-Employed Workers’ Statute), following the amendments made by the Employment Committee on 28th February.
Notably, article 11 of the Statute provides that public bodies, operating as contracting authorities, promote the participation of self-employed workers to public procurement procedures for the provision of services (not also for the supply of products).
In order to implement this, self-employed workers are allowed to: (i) create networks of self-employed workers and take part in mixed business networks (according to article 3, paragraphs 4-ter et seqq., of Decree Law 10th February 2009); (ii) establish stable consortia of self-employed workers; (iii) set up temporary associations of self-employed workers, as per article 48 of the new Public Procurement Code.
The Bill will then return to the Senate, from which the legislative process has originated, for its third and final approval.
