Main novelties introduced by the new Public Sector Contract Law
The new Public Sector Contract Law came into force on 9 March. This law was created with the aim of establishing a new regulatory framework for the public procurement system and with the aim of improving efficiency and transparency, simplifying procedures, facilitating the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and encouraging public administrations to use it to achieve common social objectives.
According to Rosa Isabel, the most relevant new features of this new law are, on the one hand, the application of the same legal regime to the preparation and awarding of contracts by contracting authorities that are considered to be public administrations as those that are not.
This is a major novelty, since under the 2007 Public Sector Contracts Act and its subsequent revised text, contracting authorities that were not considered to be public administrations applied a different and less strict regime than that which had to be applied by the public administrations on which many of them depended.
