PUBLIC PROCUREMENT

From the contracting authority’s perspective, providing support in the public procurement process; from the contractor’s perspective, understanding the requirements outlined in the Terms of Reference (Specyfikacja Warunków Zamówienia, SWZ) and successfully securing a public contract is often just the start of a long-term collaboration governed by the complex and stringent framework of Polish Public Procurement Law.

Our advisory services offer comprehensive support to all participants involved in proceedings funded by public resources, conducted under the Polish Public Procurement Law (Prawo zamówień publicznych, Pzp) and internal regulations. With extensive experience gained from working with both public sector organizations and private businesses, our experts have a deep understanding of the unique challenges and intricacies involved in handling proceedings under the public expenditure regime. We also assist in atypical and disputed cases, during audits, inspections, and in instances where public procurement law intersects with criminal law.
