Procurement Law - Private Sector
Compliance with procurement law has become increasingly important in recent years, particularly in light of the current economic climate which has led to an ever more competitive market place for private sector bidders. Suppliers are becoming more aware of their rights and remedies under the rules (which have recently been significantly improved as a result of the Remedies Directives) and are now more willing to challenge a contract award decision.
What we do…
Our experienced and skilled team has an impressive track record in advising a wide range of clients in the private sector on contentious and non-contentious procurement issues.
We help clients at all stages of their bids for public contracts: from advising clients on how they should prepare their bids; advising on the nuances of the different public procurement procedures involved; helping clients managing the process; to advising on, negotiating and finalising the resulting contracts.
We also help clients challenge unlawful public procurement procedures and award decisions: from advising them whether public procurement procedures have been conducted unlawfully; providing representation at debrief meetings during the mandatory standstill period; to litigation in the Court of Session and the Sheriff Court.
