Head of Public Procurement and Infrastructure, Legal Counsel
On 11 September 2019, the Sejm passed the new Public Procurement Law (“PPL”). The Law is now going to the Senate and is scheduled to come into force on 1 January 2021.
What changes are ahead of us?
- Measures to facilitate improved contract preparation;
- Simpler procedures, in particular for below EU threshold contracts;
- Enhanced competition and improved access to contracts;
- Balancing of the positions of contracting authorities and contractors;
- More transparent procedures;
- Proposed mechanism of alternative dispute resolution; and
- Changes concerning public procurement contracts, including regulation on the indexation of contracts.
Look forward to our new weekly posts #NewPPL and read the previous ones. We have already covered changes to the law taxonomy and in general provisions.
