Background & Purpose

During the autumn of 2025, opposition parties submitted 60 proposals aimed at changing how public procurement works, including stricter environmental rules and better ways to stop dishonest companies. The parliament chose to reject these because the government is already working on these topics.

The Decision

The parliament voted to reject all 60 proposals, meaning no new laws or changes were made at this time.

Does this affect you?

  • Public authorities: They continue to follow existing procurement laws without any new immediate changes to their routines.
  • Companies bidding for public contracts: They will continue to operate under the current regulatory framework while the government reviews potential future updates.

In Practice

  • The current rules for public procurement remain unchanged.
  • The government continues its ongoing work to improve the procurement process.
  • No new requirements for environmental standards or contractor vetting were introduced through these motions.
