With the Planning and Procurement Acceleration Act, the German government wants to make Bundeswehr procurement significantly faster. The temporary special law simplifies procurement procedures, allows more flexibility in contracts and strengthens European supply chains. At the same time, the requirements for compliance, supply chain structure and contract design are increasing. New opportunities are opening up for companies in the defense market, as KPMG Law expert Kai Wischnat explains in a guest article for Beschaffung akutell. The full text of the article is freely available.
“The law is a temporary special right. It does not change general commercial law, but creates exceptions in order to speed up planning and procurement for the Bundeswehr. Armaments, IT and security-related supplier industries will also benefit from this.”
