Rural municipalities: 30 days to derogate article 59.1.b) of Regulation 64/2014

The Decree-Law 6/2026 derogates article 59.1.b) of Regulation 64/2014, which required procurement in rural municipalities, within 30 days (art. 59.1.b)). This change removes an administrative barrier for procurement in rural areas without altering other procurement regimes. The derogation applies to all rural municipalities affected by the previous regulation.

In 2 key points

  1. Withdraws article 59.1.b) of Regulation 64/2014 for rural municipalities (art. 59.1.b))
