How does the new tendering law affect you?

The introduction of the new Public Tender law has important consequences for the Dutch construction industry. The clustering of assignments and projects under the Public Procurement Act is no longer permitted and the ‘proportionality of requirements’ that businesses face has changed. These changes affect contractual, membership of consortia and indeed regulation of the costs associated with participation in tenders. In addition, the introduction of the Public Tender Act also affects existing regulations – the framework EU rules for tendering partially conflict with BAO, BASS and WIRA (the previous arrangements) which can impact on both existing and planned projects.

Advice on tendering law

The Dutch tender law will continue to evolve to reflect the changes required by the EU procurement rules and even now not all the changes are enacted into current law. Subsequent adjustments will be added from time to time so the situation must be considered fluid and even current law may by subject to changes at future specified dates.
