Our Public Procurement group has experience of advising both
contracting authorities subject to the public procurement
rules and private sector entities interested in bidding for
public sector and utilities sector contracts.
Two partners in the group, Emanuela Lecchi and Stewart Hey,
are ranked as leading individuals in the field of Public Procurement
law by Chambers and Partners Directory 2008.
We offer advice on all stages of the public procurement process,
from the advertising of contracts in OJEU and drafting tender
documentation which is compliant with EC rules to engaging
with bidders during the procurement process, selecting successful
bidders and debriefing unsuccessful bidders and the conduct
of public procurement disputes. We recognise that speed is
of the essence in public procurement matters. Our team has
a proven track record in this area, having acted successfully
for a client seeking interim relief in a recent landmark case
concerning the fairness of a contract award by a government
body.
The team has advised a wide range of clients from different
fields on public procurement matters, including local authorities
and other public bodies, charities, bodies in the medical,
pharmaceutical and educational sectors and members of the
construction industry. Individuals within the group have direct
experience of dealing with public procurement issues through
secondment to an executive agency of government.
