Procurement Advice

Public procurement procedures are governed by detailed legislation and involve strict time limits. Legal support helps a participant understand the procedure and the obligations attaching to each stage.

A lawyer practising in this field can assist with preparing for a procedure, reading and interpreting the tender specifications, and submitting a bid, as well as with any legal question that arises during the procedure.

Procurement consultants provide the commercial and operational support required during the same process: preparation, interpretation of the specifications and the submission of a bid.

Information sessions on procurement set out the stages of the procedure and the related legal framework.

Together, legal advice, procurement consultancy and information sessions cover the following:

• understanding the stages of a procurement procedure,
• reading the tender specifications and preparing a bid,
• addressing legal or commercial questions arising during the procedure,
• keeping up to date with the applicable legislation.
