What Portugal Codigo dos Contratos Publicos (CCP) Decreto-Lei 18/2008 of 29 January 2008 as amended (most recently by Decreto-Lei 78/2022) requires
The Portuguese Codigo dos Contratos Publicos (CCP / Public Contracts Code) approved by Decreto-Lei 18/2008 of 29 January 2008, as amended most recently by Decreto-Lei 78/2022 of 7 November 2022, is the principal Portuguese statute governing procurement of works, goods, services, and consultancy by contracting authorities including the State, autonomous regions (Acores and Madeira), local authorities (autarquias locais), public institutes, public-sector entities, and other entities under EU procurement directive scope. The CCP transposes the EU procurement directives 2014/24/EU (classical), 2014/25/EU (utilities), 2014/23/EU (concessions), and 2009/81/EC (defence and security) into Portuguese law. The 2017 amendment by Lei 18/2017 implemented the 2014 EU directives and substantially modernised the CCP. Subsequent amendments include Decreto-Lei 111-B/2017, Decreto-Lei 33/2018, Decreto-Lei 170/2019, Decreto-Lei 10-A/2020 (COVID-19 emergency provisions), Lei 30/2021 (simplification reforms), and Decreto-Lei 78/2022 (additional reforms). The Instituto dos Mercados Publicos, do Imobiliario e da Construcao (IMPIC, I.P.) is the central regulatory authority. The Base do Conhecimento sobre Contratos Publicos (BASE / base.gov.pt) is the mandatory federal e-procurement platform for procurement notice publication, contract data publication, and contractor history tracking. Procurement methods established by CCP art. 16 to 31 comprise (a) Concurso publico (Open Tender, the default open public procedure), (b) Concurso limitado por previa qualificacao (Restricted Tender, with prequalification), (c) Procedimento de negociacao (Negotiated Procedure, under prescribed exceptions), (d) Dialogo concorrencial (Competitive Dialogue, for complex acquisitions), (e) Parceria para a inovacao (Innovation Partnership), (f) Ajuste direto (Direct Adjustment, sole-source under prescribed exceptions including emergency, sole supplier for technical reasons, prior unsuccessful tendering, and small-value below thresholds), (g) Consulta previa (Prior Consultation, between two and five suppliers for prescribed small-value), and (h) Sistemas de aquisicao dinamicos (Dynamic Purchasing Systems). The CCP establishes the Tribunal de Contas (Court of Accounts) for procurement audit and the administrative courts for procurement appeals.
