Adds provisions to prioritize European bidders and EU added value in public procurement, including new recitals and paragraphs on strategic independence and reciprocity. Extends the scope of best price-quality ratio to intellectual and engineering services, and requires industrial partnerships for strategic projects. Expands the impact assessment to cover Article 15 of Directive 2014/24/EU and adds emphasis on lot division for engineering services. Strengthens language on preventing social dumping and preserving economic sovereignty in the call to the Commission. The other changes are formal or wording: recital renumbering, reference update, and rephrasing of paragraph 24.
