Higher education institutions have a hugely diverse and complex portfolio of contracts with suppliers of goods and services, all of which need to be awarded and managed in a way that demonstrates value for money as well as supporting the strategic aims of the institution. The UK and EU procurement regimes are both highly complex and heavily regulated and higher education institutions can ill afford to make costly and time-consuming mistakes. Having experience acting for both bidders and contracting authorities, we understand the world of public procurement from all sides.
From specific aspects such as drafting of a contract to accompany an invitation to tender, through to managing the whole procurement process, advising on procurement strategy and resolving disputes, we will ensure you receive pragmatic advice and solutions that are both legally and commercially sound and add value to your own contracts and procurement teams.
Our procurement team has extensive experience advising on all aspects of procurement, providing solutions that are proportionate, practical and soundly based on our extensive understanding of this complex area of law. For more information, please contact Anja Beriro.
