Procurement

With private and public sector budgets under increased scrutiny, VFM (Value For Money) has become the watchword for procurement. But the EU Remedies Directive means authorities are at greater risk of litigation and penalties. Our expert team can show you how to deliver cost-effective procurement, safe from legal challenge.

Many of our team have worked in the private or public sector or for regulatory bodies. We have over 60 local authority client and major private service providers. We sit on four local authority consortiums and the Government's full commercial service panel.  We understand procurement from all angles. The regulatory framework is a complex one but we specialise in making it work for you.

Righting wrongs

Our procurement team provides strategic public procurement advice for bidders and public authorities to help you conduct business free from legal challenge. But we appreciate that regulatory infringements can occur, often unintentionally, so you'll find we are experts at bringing and defending infringement actions too.

We also provide tailored training for your in-house procurement teams, from anticipating regulatory change, to establishing effective procurement processes or preparing for litigation.

Our expertise is highly respected within our own profession too. That's why our lawyers sit on the expert panel of the Procurement Lawyers Association, promoting understanding and key debates around the latest issues in EC procurement law.
