The local legal context
Moldova’s Public Procurement Law 131/2015 must be read with amendments, implementing measures and the procedure stated in the tender. The buyer, funding and purchase category can affect the applicable framework. Review qualifications and award reasons early, distinguishing an electronic clarification from the formal challenge needed to contest an exclusion or procurement decision.
Read the tender documents, eligibility conditions, evaluation method and communications as a single record. Resolve ambiguities through the authorised process rather than informal assurances. Check consortium responsibility, bid security and conflicts of interest before submission. A challenge should identify the specific procurement decision and remedy sought, with prompt attention to the procedure and effect on contract award.

How Jurisiti can help
Establish the contracting authority, procurement type and applicable regime before assessing a tender. A disagreement over scoring, an exclusion decision and a later contract-performance dispute are distinct issues. Procurement remedies often involve strict timelines, so preserve the notice, communications and date of knowledge of the disputed decision.

- Evaluation, exclusion and award disputes
- Contract variations and performance risk
Questions about your matter
How do I start a public procurement enquiry in Moldova?
Identify the jurisdiction, the people involved, any existing proceeding or deadline, and the result you need. A short chronology and the key documents help define the proposed engagement before local professional arrangements are confirmed.
Can a cross-border matter involve more than one legal system?
Yes. Moldova may be one part of a wider matter involving another place of residence, contracting party, asset or forum. Applicable law, jurisdiction and enforcement should be assessed separately, using the relevant national and international rules.
Does this guide establish a lawyer-client relationship?
No. An enquiry or use of this guide does not establish an engagement. Conflicts, professional authority, scope, responsibilities and fees must be confirmed before work is undertaken.
