What Procurelex is
One place for the law and for applying it.
01
The open site
The Public Procurement Regulations regulation by regulation, in Maltese and in English, and the thresholds that decide who runs a procedure and how. No sign-up, with a link to every provision.
02
Procurelex Verifika for contracting authorities
Upload your tender documents and get a report: what complies with the Regulations, what is missing and what to clarify, quoting your document and citing the provision.
Procurelex Verifika – tender document screening
What Procurelex Verifika checks before publication.
Each check rests on a specific provision of the Regulations, of a Contracts Circular or of a Procurement Policy Note. Every finding states its basis, a quote from the document and a status: compliant, non-compliant, not applicable or undetermined.
Who runs the procedure
Whether the estimated value puts the call with the contracting authority, the Sectoral Procurement Directorate or the Director of Contracts, and the method it allows.
Technical specifications
Makes, sources, trade marks and patents named without justification or without the words “or equivalent”.
Selection criteria
Whether the conditions of participation and their means of proof are stated in the documents.
Division into lots
Whether the main reasons for not dividing the contract into lots are given where the Regulations require them.
Award criteria
The criteria for the most economically advantageous tender and the treatment of abnormally low tenders.
Grounds of exclusion
Whether the grounds of exclusion in the documents are those of the Regulations.
Time limits
The time limit for the receipt of tenders against the minimum for the procedure and the value.
Remedies
Whether the documents say that the award is subject to review and include the extract of the appeals process.
No check reaches customers before a procurement lawyer has approved its criteria. Where the answer is uncertain, Procurelex Verifika says “undetermined” rather than guess.
Who it is for
For contracting authorities that run their own procurements.
Local councils
Small teams and many calls a year: the screening frees time for decisions.
Ministries and departments
Calls at or above the threshold are issued through the Department of Contracts: the documents have to be right before they leave.
Authorities, agencies and public entities
Hospitals, schools, regulators: consistent documents without the errors that draw appeals.
Security
Your documents stay in the European Union.
Data in the EU
The app and its data run in Google Cloud regions in the European Union; AI models are used in an EU region.

Uploaded tender documents are deleted automatically after 30 days.
