Dal mito della rotazione alla rotazione mite

Abstract

Variously defined and valued, considered the natural counterweight to discretion and, at the same time, debased to a mere operational criterion, rotation is a highly debated aspect of low-threshold procurement, with inevitable procedural implications and controversial application implications.

On a regulatory level, a figurative oxymoron has emerged.

The new codification of public contracts, in fact, prioritizes the application of the principle in question (set out in Article 49) over the rules governing sub-threshold procurement (detailed in the subsequent Article 50), with a marked formal emphasis but contemplating a complex range of possible exceptions, against which a rather confusing ratio legis serves as a backdrop
