Public Procurement
Legal assistance may include advice on preparation of procurement documentation, review of conditions and criteria, legal analysis of tenders, clarifications, communication in the procedure, decisions of the contracting authority and legal protection where a participant considers its rights or legal interests violated. For economic operators it is important to identify disputed conditions in good time, prepare a complete tender and react within prescribed deadlines. For contracting authorities it is important to shape documentation that is clear, proportionate to the subject of procurement and implementable in accordance with procedural rules.
