public procurement & contracting
White & Black has significant experience advising clients through the tender process for the procurement of services by public bodies.
There are many obligations placed on public authorities in the procurement of services. By instructing a lawyer who has a working knowledge of the regulations governing procurement (including the minimum time limits used for the various award procedures available, the application of the selection criteria put in place by the public body and the obligations placed on the public body during the post-award stage) our clients ensure their tender will have the greatest chance of success and that any discrepancies in the selection process can be identified and dealt with in the appropriate manner.
We can advise on available exemptions and on compliance with the principles and rules for co-operation and competition issued by various contracting authorities, such as the NHS.
