The Draft Public Sector Contracts Law is still on hold at the Commission, but is expected to be approved shortly

The 1088 proposed amendments to the Draft Bill for the Public Sector Contracts Act have blocked progress at the Tax and Public Finances Commission of the Parliamentary Lower House, delaying the new Law, pending since April 2016, which would fulfil the obligation of transposing the 2014 European Directives into Spanish Law. However, the delay may be coming to an end as there are rumours that the agreement between the Government party and some parliamentary groups in Congress regarding the approval of the Spanish General Budget may extend to and facilitate the approval of this much-needed Law. In the meantime, AKRO Lawyers & Consultants are available to advise you through this transitory situation of legal uncertainty during which the consolidated text of 2011 is still in use but will change as soon as the aforementioned Directives come into force.
