Procurement

Even when public procurement rules do not apply, authorities and public law entities must respect general principles in relation to transparency and competitive tendering when entering into arrangements with third parties. Likewise, private sector operators bidding for public contracts in local, EU or international public procurement procedures must take into account a complex set of rules and related risks of non-compliance. Our team will navigate you through all rules and regulations.

We provide strategic advice and transactional support, from how to submit a tender to collaboration with other  commercial or government organisations. We also assist you with all kinds of procurement disputes, whether in a pre-litigation phase or when challenging decisions before the administrative and civil courts.

Our cross-office public procurement team assists all parties involved in the procurement process. Our lawyers are familiar with the procurement issues in a wide variety of sectors, from infrastructure and energy, to health & pharma, and IT. Our Procurement-team also works collaboratively with colleagues and specialists across Loyens & Loeff on fiscal matters, corporate law, competition law, and real estate.
