Public procurement changes: national preference, price adjustment, and contractor protection

The bill introduces three main changes to Poland's public procurement system. First, it gives Polish companies priority over competitors from outside the EU. Second, it makes it easier for contractors to adjust their pay to rising costs. Third, it protects contractors from abuses when bank guarantees are used.
Key points
Polish companies will get priority in public tenders – contractors from non-EU countries without EU agreements will no longer be automatically treated equally to European firms, aiming to protect the Polish job market and create approximately 7,200 new jobs.
Contractors will be able to more easily raise prices when costs increase – new rules introduce automatic price adjustment based on official statistics and allow contract termination if the buyer refuses a raise.
End to abuse of bank guarantees – buyers cannot demand payment higher than the claim value, and contractors gain time to challenge unjustified demands in court.
Companies violating trade union rights will lose access to public contracts – the list of disqualifying offenses expanded to include breaches of freedom of association.
