Procurement

For governmental institutions, such as the water boards, the higher water boards, housing corporations and institutions for healthcare and education, procurement law plays an important role in your purchases. Questions like these arise:
Does the extension of an existing contract with the ICT supplier need to be put out to tender? How is the value of a contract calculated? Can I make use of a shorter time period? How should I justify a refusal?

Whenever a governmental institution purchases goods or services from a private company, procedures known as procurement procedures apply. Carefully following these procedures is not always straightforward.

What can we do to help?
We can assist you, as a governmental institution, in various ways, including:

• Assessing whether or not your agency is required to tender
• Advising on procurement law
• Choosing the contract type and procurement procedures
• Assessing whether a contract or agreement should be tendered
• Drawing up the announcement, selection guideline, concept agreement and other procurement documents
• Supervising drawing up the purchase/procurement law policy
• Supervising awarding of the contract and refusal of interested parties
• Providing legal assistance in disputes over procurement procedure

Governmental institutions are faced with a challenge, in that on the one hand, the legal requirements for procurement law change quickly and are seemingly becoming more and more complex, while on the other hand dissatisfied suppliers are more often willing to institute legal proceedings. Research has shown that the number of lawsuits relating to procurement law is rising every year.
