Contractor and client support

The public procurement market is one of the largest in Poland and is constantly growing, especially thanks to EU funds. Statistics show that Polish entrepreneurs find this market attractive and are – we have represented ordering parties and contractors before the NAC as many as 250 times). However,  this is a market with many formalities and restrictions.

We are happy to face these difficulties; our procurement team is made up of people who are truly passionate about procurement and who can wade through hundreds of pages of complex documents without

We support contracting authorities both at the stage of preparing the documentation for a public procurement procedure and during the procedure (e.g., analysis of bids, preparation of summons, opinion on the exclusion of a contractor from the procedure, opinion on cancellation of the procedure). We have advised on public procurement proceedings more than 1,000 times. We also support contractors in tender proceedings (e.g., analysis of tender documentation, preparation of requests for clarification of the Terms of Reference, conclusion of a consortium, formal and legal verification of a bid, and formal and legal verification of competitive bids). This gives us an overview of the situation from both sides, drawing on our knowledge of what the other party usually expects.

• We represent contracting authorities and contractors in appeal proceedings before the National Appeal Chamber and in complaint proceedings against Chamber judgments.
• We support contracting authorities and contractors in the execution of public procurement contracts, including at the stage of contracting with subcontractors, amendments to public procurement contracts or their early termination.
• We support contracting authorities with procurement.
• We support contracting authorities in the preparation of internal acts regulating the organisation of procurement procedures.
• We support contracting authorities in the choice of legal instruments for the implementation of significant infrastructure projects (choice of implementation models such as public-private partnerships, concessions for works or services and public procurement).

In addition, we regularly provide training on the application of public procurement law either at open conferences or directly to the client.

Public procurement is not a subject that can be successfully handled by every lawyer – the specifics of this branch of law require people with specialised knowledge and experience. Therefore, if you are planning to take part in a public procurement procedure as a contractor and want to make sure that you comply with the formal requirements or, as a contracting authority, you need to make sure that you achieve your goal by tendering and that you do not lose funding, please contact us.
