Why choose our Public Procurement lawyers?
We have decades of experience advising on some of the largest and most complex procurement projects in Europe. As a result, we understand what it takes for authorities to design and manage a process that is fit for purpose and legally robust.
We
know that bidders need to be satisfied that they have been given a fair
opportunity in the procurement process. We provide proactive, hands-on and
practical support to help our clients ensure that they have the same
information as all other bidders, such as clear requirements, transparent
evaluation criteria and assurance that there are no hidden hurdles, benchmarks
or weightings that are not fully revealed.
Where disputes arise, we have extensive experience both defending authorities and helping unsuccessful bidders looking to challenge procurement decisions. This allows us to provide the insight to help clients achieve the results that they are looking for.
Our client base spans the private, public and utility sectors. It includes many of the UK's central government departments and their agencies, together with major non-departmental public bodies as well as publicly owned utilities. In the private sector, our clients include major suppliers to Government in fields such as technology, construction, telecoms and education.
As
a team, we aim to support clients with advice that is practical, commercial and
risk based. Our specialist team comprises a number of leaders in the field, and
we frequently provide training on the latest developments in procurement law to
our clients and industry groups.
