Our public procurement law firm

horak Rechtsanwälte advise on procurement with attention to the procedure, technical project and resulting contract. We support both public buyers and businesses, with the assignment tailored to the particular matter.

Connected advice

Procurement can overlap with IT, intellectual property, construction and commercial contract issues. The work should connect these questions and make responsibility for factual, technical and legal assessments clear. The appropriate team is determined by the assignment.

A clear working relationship

We clarify the requested result, documents, timing and terms of engagement. Early review can identify problems before publication, while a live dispute requires immediate attention to the procedural stage. Please arrange visits in advance and expressly identify any imminent deadline.

Four practical examples

The following scenarios are illustrative, not reports of actual client matters. The outcome depends on the documents and circumstances of the individual procurement.

Example 1: Technology tender

An IT project requires review of interfaces and contract requirements together with the procurement process.

Example 2: Early review

A buyer checks documents before publication to identify contradictory requirements and unsuitable evaluation rules.

Example 3: Urgent bidder matter

A bidder supplies a complete exclusion decision and exact dates so that representation can be assessed.

Example 4: After award

Additional services raise both contractual entitlement and procurement-change questions.

Discuss your procurement

For a review, please identify the authority, contract or lot, current procedural stage and any deadline. We can then clarify the scope of the requested work. Contact our team. An enquiry does not itself create a retainer or preserve a legal deadline.
