Procurement law

Contract tendering has become a regular part of today’s society. Compliance with European and national procurement law is high on the political agenda and attracts an increasing level of media attention. Under procurement law, government and semi-government authorities are required in many cases to observe certain rules when awarding particular types of contracts. These could be contracts for building a school, supplying a new software system or home care services, to name just a few examples.

The higher the estimated value of a contract, the more stringent the rules that apply to the tendering process. Where a contract exceeds European threshold values, particular consideration must be given to the time frames, the way in which contracts are announced and the procedures to be followed. For tenders less than the threshold values the general principles of procurement law apply, the scope of which is laid down further in national and European legislation.

Legislation is subject to regular change, which makes it absolutely essential to obtain sound legal advice.
