Challenges to procurement processes and tender awards
Many businesses find themselves in competitive tender processes as part and parcel of winning new contracts or, equally importantly, maintaining existing ones. For those businesses who fail to get the result they want and feel that the tender award is unjust, we will be on hand to assess the options available to challenge the outcome. It is vital that businesses in this situation act quickly and get the right advice.

What our disputes lawyers do
We challenge procurement processes where tenderers believe these to be in breach of EU procurement regulations. We can advise you both before an award has been made, as well as assisting unsuccessful bidders to challenge tender awards on substantive and/or procedural grounds. As this often requires urgent work to be undertaken proactively due to significant statutory time constraints, getting the right advice on a timely basis in this specialised area is essential.

Often the contracts they are competing for are key contracts in the development of their businesses, where the outcome of the process will be crucial. Businesses need access to the best advice in these challenging circumstances and our team will be on hand to help them get a just result.
