Summary

The bill amends § 1 subsection 5 footnote 1 of the Waste Act and adds a restriction to the application of § 12 of the Public Procurement Act also to the ordering of the recycling and disposal of waste covered by organized waste transport and the recycling and disposal of waste collected by order of a local government unit. The purpose of the change is to give the private sector more investment confidence in waste management, improve competition and service quality. According to the draft, the new requirement will enter into force on January 1, 2031, so that the local government unit will have enough time to consider the new requirement. In the event that the open or limited procurement procedure has ended due to a lack of tenders, the provisions of the Public Procurement Act provide for the possibility of an internal transaction, i.e. the use of a negotiated procurement procedure without announcement.
