Now under preparation, the Public Procurement Act will be adopted (with effect no later than on April 1, 2016) in order to transpose the following European Parliament and Council directives: 2014\/24\/EU of February 26, 2014 on public procurement and the cancellation of Directive 2014\/18\/EU; 2014\/25\/EU of February 26, 2014 on procurement by operators in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors and the cancellation of Directive 2004\/17\/EU; and 2014\/23\/EU of February 26 on the award of concession contracts. The Czech legislation should also reflect the material purpose of Directive No. 2007\/66\/EC of December 11, 2007, which amends Council Directives 89\/665\/EEC and 92\/13\/EEC on the increased effectiveness of public procurement review proceedings, as well as 2009\/81\/EC of July 13, 2009 on the coordination of procedures for the award of certain work, supply and service contracts by contracting authorities\/entities in the defence and security industries. In this scope, the following topics are now being discussed: <\/p>\n
Re-introduction of economic qualifications (so that the minimum turnover does not exceed twice the expected value of the public contract) <\/p>\n
Introduction of a proportionality principle concerning both the subject matter of the public contract and its expected value <\/p>\n
Ensuring that the evaluation criteria capture only the most economically favourable offer (also taking expenses into account) <\/p>\n
The option to evaluate a contractor’s team <\/p>\n
The option to exclude a contractor based on its professional errors <\/p>\n
“Self-cleaning” by the contractor (to prove that it has undertaken sufficient measures to evidence its qualifications) <\/p>\n
Mandatory digitalisation (in selected areas)<\/p>\n
Allowance of minor contractual amendments (up to 10% or 15% depending on the type of public contract and up to approx. 50% if the amendment is needed due to unforeseeable circumstances and it does not change the entire nature of the public contract) <\/p>\n
Additional construction work – Unforeseeability is not defined by an objective standard; it is sufficient if the need for additional work could not have been foreseen with due care. A limit of 50% of the price of the original public contract applies <\/p>\n
Extra-judicial proceedings and the representation of clients by lawyers (in court and settlement proceedings including advisory services) <\/p>\n
In-house procurement (representing 80% of activities for the contracting authority) <\/p>\n
Introduction of a new tender procedure providing the option to first evaluate and then decide on a bid <\/p>\n
Lifting of the duty to cancel public procurement proceedings where there is only one bid <\/p>\n
Supervisory proceedings before the Office for the Protection of Competition: a one-stage procedure for simplified below-limit proceedings<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
