Public Procurement Law

Procurement rules are a toolbox, not an obstacle course. We help you choose the right tool.

A tender often begins with more questions than answers. What does the organization actually need? What is essential, and where should there be room for solutions from the market? Which procedure suits the task? And how do you formulate requirements and criteria so they reflect the need, open up genuine competition and can be explained afterwards?

When you are responsible for a tender, you have to balance many considerations while standing behind the choices made along the way. If the requirements or criteria miss the mark, they can limit competition, make the evaluation difficult and lead to complaints, re-tendering or delays. The choices also matter far beyond the tender process itself. They help decide what the organization will receive and who the future partner will be.

We start from the project’s goals and the real need. With an eye to the organization and the market, we help choose the right procurement procedure, contract model and process. We connect the legal rules of the game with the specific situation and make opportunities, consequences and risks clear. The goal is a tender that rests on a clear and documentable basis and creates the right framework for the delivery and the collaboration the organization needs.

Our advice includes:

→ Needs assessment and procurement strategy

We help separate requirements from wishes and make the project’s goals clear. What should the solution be able to do? What is essential, and where is there room for the market’s own solutions? On that basis, we advise on the procurement procedure, contract model and process and assess whether the task should be combined, divided or handled in several tracks.
 

→ Requirements, criteria and running the tender

We turn needs and priorities into clear, relevant and legally robust requirements and criteria. We prepare the tender documents and assist through publication, prequalification, dialogue or negotiation, bid evaluation, award and contract signing.
 

→ Contracts and modifications

Projects and needs evolve. We advise on which modifications, extensions and additional purchases are possible within the procurement rules and make opportunities, consequences and risks clear before a decision is made.
 

→ Procurement practice and complaints cases

We make the procurement rules workable in everyday practice through training, templates, decision trees and knowledge capture, among other things. If a complaint arises, we assist before the Danish Complaints Board for Public Procurement and the courts. We also advise bidders on rejection, exclusion and award decisions.
