Rural municipalities: 30 days to adapt procurement procedures for works under new art. 59.1.b

The Decree-Law 6/2026 repeals article 59.1.b of the 2014 Regulation and replaces it with a new procurement procedure for rural municipalities, setting a 30-day adaptation period (art. 59.1.b). This change aims to modernize procurement in rural areas, where there was previously no clear framework. New articles (57 ter, 58 bis, etc.) strengthen transparency and participation in the process.

In 3 key points

  1. Rural municipalities must adapt their works procurement procedures within 30 days (art. 59.1.b)
  2. New articles (57 ter, 58 bis) are added to strengthen transparency and participation (art. 47 bis, 57 ter, 57 quater, 58 bis)
  3. Article 2 of Decree-law 3/2025 and additional provision 8 of Law 16/2015 are amended (art. 2 del Decreto-ley 3/2025, disposición adicional 8 de la Ley 16/2015)

How it affects those involved

Rural municipalities must update their works procurement procedures within 30 days, leading to an increased administrative burden. Public and private companies providing services in these areas must adjust their bids and submission processes. Procurement advisors must review the new articles to ensure compliance with the new deadlines and conditions. While the change promotes transparency, it increases operational complexity.
