Public procurement can offer significant business opportunities, but participating in tender procedures requires careful interpretation of procurement documents and a sound understanding of the applicable rules. We primarily assist businesses and other organisations participating in public procurement procedures. Our advice covers the process from preparing and submitting a tender to reviewing procurement contracts, addressing issues arising during contract performance and pursuing legal remedies.

Our services include:

  • Preparing for a tender: identifying key requirements and legal and contractual risks in procurement documents and contract terms

  • Tender preparation and legal review: advising on suitability requirements, grounds for exclusion and award criteria, assessing the required supporting documents and reviewing tender submissions for compliance with procurement requirements

  • Procurement contracts and contract performance: advising on contract modifications, the interpretation of contract terms and issues arising during contract performance

  • Procurement rectification and appeals: assisting with procurement rectification requests and appeal proceedings and representing clients before the Market Court and the Supreme Administrative Court
