FSFE on EU Public Procurement Reform: Strategic Alignment with the #B4mad Vision

Abstract

The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) submitted a statement in January 2026 responding to the European Commission’s call for evidence on the revision of EU public procurement rules. The statement argues that public procurement must strategically pivot toward Free Software to break vendor lock-in, achieve digital sovereignty, and strengthen Europe’s IT ecosystem. This paper summarizes the FSFE’s key positions, analyzes their implications for the #B4mad vision of agent-first, sovereignty-oriented technology, and proposes 2–3 actionable follow-up research papers that could advance both the FSFE’s agenda and #B4mad’s strategic goals.
