Procurement law
Focus on contracts put out to tender is currently increasing, including with respect to issues such as the entities obliged to complete procurement procedures, the services to be put out to tender, the correct procurement procedures and procedures to be observed by tenderers feeling that they have received unfair treatment in a procurement procedure.
LETT has comprehensive experience and expertise within the area of procurement law based on its many years of providing advisory services to businesses, counties, municipalities, municipal businesses and utilities.
LETT’s expertise and experience in the Public Sector Procurement Directive and the Utilities Directive as well as Danish legislation relating to tenders and tender notices ensure that contracting authorities and tenderers receive professional and commercial advice.
LETT provides advice on all aspects and issues relating to the planning of procurement procedures in practice. We make an assessment as to whether a contract should be put out to tender and provide advice on the choice of procurement method and on preparing tender notices as well as tender documents.
We review and assess prequalification applications and tenders, including reservations, and provide advice on negotiating with tenderers, drafting and concluding contracts, etc. Our experience spans a number of different contracts put out to tender ranging from the transport of refuse to the purchase of train units.
Moreover, LETT assists businesses bidding for contracts put out to tender. We provide advice on drafting prequalification applications as well as tenders and make assessments as to whether they meet the specifications set out by the contracting entity. We advise tenderers on the possibilities for negotiating with contracting entities and provide advice and assistance in the event that the management of a procurement procedure etc. by a contracting entity is claimed to be unsatisfactory.
Finally, we are highly experienced in conducting cases before the courts as well as the Complaints Board for Public Procurement, both on behalf of contracting entities against which proceedings are instigated or complaints submitted to the Complaints Board or on behalf of tenderers dissatisfied with the completion of a procurement procedure by a contracting entity.
