This chapter addresses the digitalisation of public procurement in Italy, as formalised by the 2023 Public Contracts Code, which regulates the entire digital lifecycle of contracts. It distinguishes a ‘weak’ form (dematerialisation and digital management) and a ‘strong’ form (algorithmic decision-making). This shift raises key legal issues and redefines administrative legitimacy in the digital era.

Abstract
This chapter addresses the digitalisation of public procurement in Italy, as formalised by the 2023 Public Contracts Code, which regulates the entire digital lifecycle of contracts. It distinguishes a ‘weak’ form (dematerialisation and digital management) and a ‘strong’ form (algorithmic decision-making). This shift raises key legal issues and redefines administrative legitimacy in the digital era.
