Local government procurement
At Browne Jacobson we deliver top-quality advice and support in relation to public procurement law and practice and domestic and retained EU legislation.
This spans all aspects of complex procurement issues including drafting specifications, evaluation criteria, tender documentation and associated procurement and contractual documentation.
Our ability to quickly get to grips with challenging legal and commercial problems is universally welcomed by our clients, who include NHS England, The Crown Prosecution Service, the Cabinet Office, Homes England and over 200 local authorities.
We’re known for our pragmatic and solutions-oriented approach as well as our track record for advising across procurement strategy, defending procurement challenges, pre-market engagement, procurement documents, dialogue sessions, evaluation methodology, dialogue sessions and drafting procurement and contractual documentation.
We have an excellent track record of defending challenges from private sector providers. Our in-house procurement litigation specialists also provide legal support in cases where a procurement challenge is made.
We’re committed to long-term client relationships and seeking out ways to add value throughout the process. This means providing training and workshops for both public bodies and bidders on public procurement, including managing and mitigating public procurement risk and avoiding procurement disputes.
