The Public Procurement Law Conference - 3rd Edition, organized by Ganado Advocates, took place on October 2, 2025, at The Xara Lodge in Malta. This annual event is designed to provide professionals involved in public procurement with comprehensive insights into the latest regulatory and policy developments within Malta and the European Union.
The conference featured a focused overview of key regulatory and policy developments, including reforms of EU Public Procurement Directives, the China Medical Devices International Procurement Instrument, the Critical Medicines Act, and updates to Public Procurement Regulations, General Rules Governing Tenders, and General Conditions. Additionally, an in-depth review of recent case law shaping procurement practices was presented.
Attendees had the opportunity to participate in specialized workshops covering topics such as equal work and equal pay in government contracts, testifying in public procurement challenges, and handling Freedom of Information requests. A fireside chat addressed the opportunities and risks associated with Artificial Intelligence in public procurement, and the event concluded with a live debate, fostering interactive discussions among participants.
This conference was particularly beneficial for professionals across the procurement spectrum, including contracting authorities, economic operators, legal practitioners, and policymakers.
