Public procurement is rarely straightforward in practice. When is a contracting authority required to publish an EU wide tender, and when can it legitimately opt for a negotiated procedure or direct award? Can a bidder challenge a provisional award decision, and if so, how and when? When is it permitted to modify a tendered contract during its term? And may (or must) a contracting authority allow a bidder to correct an error in its tender? Clear, practical legal guidance is essential. Our Public Procurement team supports you through every stage of the process.
We advise on all phases of a procurement procedure, from the early planning stage – including the choice of tender strategy – through to the period after publication of the provisional award decision. If you believe a contract has been wrongly awarded to a competitor and wish to challenge that decision in interim relief proceedings, or if a competitor has brought a case against a provisional award in your favour, our specialists have extensive litigation experience and provide a decisive, hands on approach. Because deadlines in procurement law are short, early advice and swift action are crucial.
