New Public Procurement Act entered into force

09.05.2007

On May 1, 2007 new Public Procurement Act entered into force in Estonia. The new act transposes into Estonian law the EU procurement directives 2004/17/EC and 2004/18/EC. Among several amendments introduced by the new act, the act provides for a new tendering procedure called “competitive dialogue”, a procedure which has been designed for use in case of particularly complex procurements and in which the contracting authority conducts a dialogue with the candidates admitted to such procedure. The new act also establishes an independent dispute resolution committee for solving of procurement related disputes. Such committee shall be independent of the Public Procurement Office and its members shall be appointed by the Government of the Republic.
