Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court could compel the municipality in procurement enforcement to conclude a private purchase contract after a final award
Decisione estratta
No. A procurement award does not create an enforceable duty to conclude a contract; the court exceeded its competence by ordering contract conclusion.
Motivazione estratta
The award only removes the prohibition on contracting during the procedure and binds the contracting authority only if it chooses to contract. If the authority later refrains from contracting, the issue may at most give rise to damages in separate proceedings, not enforcement of the award by compelled contract conclusion.
