While acknowledging the existence of areas in which the legislature chose to subject in-house companies to the public law regime, it reaffirmed that the latter retain a distinct legal personality of a private law nature and cannot be automatically equated to public entities in every sector of the legal order. The derogation provided by the legislature constitutes an exception to the general framework and may be limited to local authorities and schools alone without violating the principle of equality.<\/p>\n<p>The Constitutional Court also noted that in-house companies may operate, within certain limits, also on the market and are subject to competition and State aid rules, elements that justify their differentiated treatment. Accordingly, the legislative choice not to extend the favorable regime to them is neither unreasonable nor detrimental to the principle of sound performance of the administration.<\/p>\n<p>To access the decision, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cortecostituzionale.it\/scheda-pronuncia\/2026\/103\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>2) <a name=\"_Toc233961750\"><\/a>Administrative Court of Lazio: on the unlawfulness of immediately excluding clauses in a tender notice<\/h4>\n<p>By judgment No. 10469\/2026, published on 8 June 2026, the Administrative Court of Lazio (\u201c<strong>TAR Lazio<\/strong>\u201d) addressed the question of the immediate challengeability of clauses contained in public tender notices and clarified when they may be considered immediately excluding, in particular with reference to provisions of the <em>lex specialis<\/em> of the tender held to be unlawful as restrictive of participation in the procedure.<\/p>\n<p>The TAR Lazio reaffirmed the principle that a tender notice may be challenged immediately only where it contains clauses that objectively and manifestly prevent a normal tenderer from submitting an offer or render participation in the tender impossible. A relevant element in excluding the existence of that precondition is the fact that other economic operators are taking part in the same procedure. According to the TAR judges, that circumstance demonstrates the absence of an effective bar to participation on the part of the appellant economic operator.<\/p>\n<p>To access the decision, click <a href=\"https:\/\/mdp.giustizia-amministrativa.it\/visualizza\/?nodeRef=&amp;schema=tar_rm&amp;nrg=202602460&amp;nomeFile=202610469_01.html&amp;subDir=Provvedimenti\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1) Italian Constitutional Court: the exclusion of in-house companies from  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":124,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[],"crccd-news":[160],"class_list":["post-5604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crccd-news","crccd-news-administrative-competition-law"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Newsletter June 2026 (pt. 2): Administrative &amp;
