Brandenburg Finalizes Public Procurement Reforms to Boost Efficiency and Support Small Businesses

New rules, set to take effect by mid-June, will raise contract thresholds, reduce bureaucracy, and introduce anti-corruption measures.

Brandenburg's government is preparing to implement simplified procurement rules by mid-June 2025, aiming to streamline public contract processes.
The threshold for direct awarding of public contracts will rise from €3,000 to €100,000, reducing the need for complex tenders.
Thresholds for negotiated contracts in construction projects will also increase significantly to at least €500,000.
Anti-corruption measures are included to ensure fair distribution of contracts and prevent favoritism among businesses.
The reforms prioritize access for smaller businesses, positioning Brandenburg as a leader in procurement innovation within Germany, second only to Bavaria.
