In recent years the value of the public procurement market has been systematically growing. This is particularly due to the boom in infrastructure projects, often financed from EU funds.

We are well aware of how important it is to comply with public procurement law requirements. Even a thoroughly prepared bid should be verified in terms of strict compliance with the law and tender documentation. Minor errors and inconsistencies may lead to long-lasting and costly disputes, and as a result, to thwarting the efforts of all those involved in the bid. Together we can do more to make tender proceedings a success for us all.

CMS has experience in tenders carried out on the basis of public procurement law as well as procurement proceedings in respect of motorways, telecommunications, health, and the military. We have advised both contractors and contracting authorities and we know the particularities of both situations. We are very familiar with the intricacies of various tender procedures, such as competitive dialogue. Last but not least, we have been successful in arguing for our clients in front of arbitration panels and courts.

Our lawyers include some of the few in Poland to be authorised to process information classified as a NATO or EU secret, which is often necessary in defence or energy sector tenders.

In collaboration with other offices across Europe, we support businesses at start-up level, in tender proceedings, and through to project development.
