Sorte del contratto pubblico stipulato a valle in caso di annullamento giurisdizionale dell’aggiudicazione e del bando di gara: è davvero possibile la “correzione” del contratto ad opera delle parti?

Abstract

This essay addresses the issue of judicial annulment of a tender notice for the purpose of automatically terminating the subsequent contract. More specifically, the issue arises at the crossroads of the relationship between public administration and administrative judges regarding the declaration of invalidity of a contract, which does not automatically follow the annulment of the award. In a context characterized by the public/private partnership, the issue of the relationship between the annulment of the tender notice and the outcome of the resulting public contract arises from the perspective of verifying the concrete powers of the contracting authority in shaping the contract's content, in relation to the weight and relevance of the concrete public interest to be achieved.
