Public Procurement

Public procurement has played a key role in the creation of the European single market. It is designed to ensure healthy competition between suppliers and value-for-money for purchasers, as well as to prevent discrimination or the favouring of “national champions”. Non compliance with the rules can have very serious commercial consequences.

Our international team has the experience to address public procurement issues arising under EU and national law from the perspective of all those involved in the procurement process. We anticipate potential issues and prepare suitable strategies for dealing with the rules, providing clear, structured advice to guide you from the initial commercial assessment to the final award and performance of the contract.
