Public Procurement

Public procurement presents challenges for both contracting entities and tenderers. Contracting entities may experience uncertainty when preparing clear and legally compliant invitation to tender documentation. Correspondingly, tenderers must ensure that their tenders comply with the requirements set out in the invitation to tender. Public procurement procedures require sufficient knowledge, and the complexity of the process makes them prone to errors. Procurement decisions must be made in accordance with the announced award criteria, and all tenderers must be treated equally and without discrimination.

We provide clear and practical legal advice on all matters related to public procurement. We assist both contracting entities and tenderers, ensuring the legality of the procurement procedure from the tender phase through to the conclusion of the procurement agreement and throughout the agreement period.
