We offer an end to end procurement service from devising procurement strategies to contract administration and management. Our approach is to allow public bodies and utilities to use public procurement to deliver the outcomes they want. For bidders we offer detailed understanding and analysis of up to the minute developments in procurement law and seek to promote bidder rights as well as assisting in bidder tender strategies. We advise clients in relation to the bringing and/or defending of procurement challenges and work closely with our Litigation and Dispute Resolution colleagues in this area.
