Basis in the statute

This act concludes the core part of the implementing provisions to the act of 5 August 2025 concerning the certification of public tender contractors. The statute is intended to streamline applying for public contracts and make it easier for contracting authorities to verify the subjective situation of contractors.

Fewer documents for each tender

Certification is meant to shorten the time contractors spend on participating in public procurement procedures. A contractor will not have to gather, for each tender, the documents and statements covered by certification.
