Wijziging van de Aanbestedingswet 2012 in verband met de versterking van de rechtsbescherming bij aanbesteden

This Dutch bill amends the Public Procurement Act 2012 (Aanbestedingswet 2012), the main law governing how national and local authorities tender contracts for goods, services and works. The stated aim is to strengthen legal protection for companies and others involved in public tenders, so that they have better means to challenge decisions they believe are unlawful. Based on the title only, the details of the changes cannot be confirmed. Companies bidding for public contracts in the Netherlands, along with contracting authorities such as ministries, provinces, municipalities and public bodies, would be most directly affected. Changes to remedies or review procedures could alter how tender disputes are handled.
