Procurement legislation
Four sets of regulations, regulation by regulation.
Public procurement in Malta is governed by four instruments of subsidiary legislation, each transposing an EU directive: the general Public Procurement Regulations, the regulations for the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors, those for defence and security, and those for concession contracts. Each is here in full, with its Schedules, in the official English and Maltese texts.
