Abstract In the light of an empirical data represented by the low usage rate of the restricted procedures within the public procurements field, the article analyzes the legal arrangements, the critical aspects and the strengths that are the most relevant in order to revamp the procedures concerned. In particular, in the view of the greater customization of the public procurement procedures, the reduction of the number of candidates (the so-called “forcella”), provided by the art. 91, d.lgs. 18th April 2016, no. 50, is analyzed as a faculty capable of enhancing the flexibility and the responsibility of the public body’s contractual choices.
