Public Procurement & State Aid
Public Procurement
The ultimate goal in public sector procurement is to ensure that best value is achieved when purchasing goods, works and services. We have considerable experience and knowledge in procurement and state aid matters including competitive dialogue procedures and advising on evaluation criteria. We can help to ensure that public sector organisations achieve the most economically advantageous results through procurement, whilst complying with all aspects of the relevant legislation.
We can provide procurement advice either as a stand alone service or as an adjunct to large development projects.
We also advise businesses on how to put together tenders for public sector procurements.
We also act in procurement disputes representing either purchasing authorities or tendering organisations. Such procurement disputes are becoming more common and illustrate the importance of seeking expert advice at the outset of procurement exercises.
State Aid
We also have extensive expertise in advising on state aid, financial transfers and other business incentives.
We act for the providers and recipients of state aid to ensure all rules are complied with. We also advise competitors who challenge such financial awards. This experience in acting for all parties affected by the provision of state aid means we have a comprehensive and balanced understanding of how it can, and should, be applied.
