Public procurement in Lithuania

Key facts for bidders, checked against official sources (2026-10). General information, not legal advice. Always confirm the rules in the tender documents and on the official portal.

Main procurement law

Law on Public Procurement (No. I-1491) (1996) — implements the EU public procurement directives

WTO procurement agreement

Lithuania is covered by the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA) through the EU: above set value thresholds, suppliers from other GPA parties must be treated like local ones.

Foreign bidders

Lithuania applies the EU procurement directives, so suppliers from the EU, and from WTO GPA parties through the EU, bid on equal terms with local firms. To take part, suppliers register as suppliers in CVP IS.

Good to know
