The Verkhovna Rada has adopted the new Law on Public Procurement

This is a significant step forward in fulfilling Ukraine’s EU integration commitments.

EU4PFM Procurement experts provided policy advice, inputs and review on this new legislation, which will serve as a cornerstone of Ukraine’s public procurement system aligned with the EU law and best procurement practice.

Key changes include:

• new EU-aligned procurement procedures and tools: innovation partnership, design contests, joint procurement, dynamic purchasing systems
• expanded tender award criteria, introducing a price/quality approach and the possibility of applying non-price criteria
• broader market access, allowing associations of participants to take part in procurement without forming a legal entity, and clearer rules for non-residents
• enhanced transparency and reduced corruption risks through mandatory electronic publication of public contracts.

These changes will also support Ukraine’s recovery needs during the full-scale war.

The EU4PFM Procurement Component team will continue its support to strengthen Ukraine’s public procurement system on its path to European integration.
