Public procurement rate facing big change
Poland’s public procurement market is worth about PLN 587 bln annually and could approach PLN 1 trn by 2029. Beginning July 12, 2026, a new contractor certification system will be introduced to simplify participation in public tenders. The certificate will serve as a “passport” confirming a company’s credibility and compliance, reducing the need to repeatedly submit the same documentation in multiple bidding procedures. Experts say certification could become a competitive advantage and eventually an industry standard.
However, small and medium-sized enterprises may face challenges adapting to new compliance and documentation requirements. The reform comes as 70% of private Polish companies have never participated in a public tender, highlighting significant untapped potential in the market.
