520 _aThe "Wood Review: investigating UK business experiences of competing for public contracts in other EU countries" has found that UK firms are unfairly missing out on work abroad because European clients flout directives on open procurement. The EU directives were meant to increase competition, lead to lower prices and encourage improved performance and innovation. However the report has found that contracts are awarded to national suppliers even when foreign bidders offer a better price.
