The accession of Poland to the European Union influenced Polish Public Procurement Law significantly. But Poland proved to be a quick learner and created Public Procurement System, governing not only public procurement sensu stricto, but also the award of concession contracts and Public-Private Partnerships, despite of the fact that rules concerning concession contracts and PPPs were absent at EU level. Thus there is no room left for legal uncertainty or any distortions in the functioning of the public procurement market in Poland. But after ten years Public Procurement System in Poland is still changing and will be a subject to major amendments during next two years.
