Advice on public procurement law: Efficient and legally compliant project implementation
Our commercial law firm supports public clients, municipal companies and bidding companies in the legally compliant execution of procurement projects and the implementation of public projects. We combine legal expertise with a deep understanding of the special requirements and challenges of complex development projects, including planning competitions, concept awards, investor models, privatizations, public-private partnerships (PPP), smart city wireless networks and energy supply.
Our services in the area of public procurement law
We support our clients from the planning phase through to the successful conclusion of public procurement processes:
- Strategic advice on the selection of the appropriate type of procurement procedure, including the clarification of potential state aid law issues;
- Drafting and reviewing tender documents, including contracts, in order to minimize legal and economic risks;
- Assistance with both sides of the procurement procedure from the announcement onwards, including assistance with requests to participate or bids for bidders, bidder dialogs, negotiations and bid evaluations;
- Challenging or defending intended award decisions in the context of review procedures or subsequent appeal proceedings;
- Support with the pronouncement or contestation of contract award blocks;
- Contract management, including the adjustment or extension of contracts after the award of a contract.
With our interdisciplinary approach, we take into account all relevant areas of law - from construction and planning law to funding and budget law - and thus create the basis for legally compliant and efficient project implementation.
In terms of content, this includes:
- Urban development measures such as the transformation of former commercial areas and the urban integration of adjacent areas;
- Traffic optimizations as part of the modernization of important infrastructure or the “15-minute city” model (e.g. mobility hubs);
- Energy measures that are implemented by external players and funding programs, for example as part of energy-efficient district refurbishment.
The realization of such projects requires not only in-depth knowledge of public procurement law, but also the ability to translate complex funding and financing requirements - for example from federal and state funds - into legally compliant tendering procedures and contracts.
