Buying Social in the new Public Procurement Law

In a legal system, informed to the synthesis of values generated by certain principles, such as those contained in Articles. 2 and 3 of the Italian Charter, it can be found in the same fundamental texts, such as the Italian Constitution and the different transnational Charters, with it virtuously coordinated, sufficient material to draw upon for ensuring the most intense (and not the minimum) taking into account of social considerations. In this perspective, the relief offered to the production of relational goods, fruit of vitality and free civil society initiatives, can offer valuable support, also to theoretical level, to the argument that the value of solidarity can (should) be found in the social buying . The valorization of the virtuous synergies of horizontal subsidiary with solidarity into the public procurement law cannot be neglected for the goals to use the purchasing power of public authorities to opt for goods and services that also deliver good social outcomes in the direction of a sustainable economic and social development.
