Public Sector & Government Contracting

Public contracts must survive scrutiny both as official decisions and commercial commitments.

SECTOR CONTEXT

The operating
reality matters.

Institutions exercising statutory powers and businesses contracting with them face two different sources of risk: the legality of the public decision and the enforceability of the resulting contract. We advise on procurement procedure, authorisation, tender evaluation, PPP arrangements, public-sector projects, payment rights and judicial review. We distinguish the forum for a tender grievance from the forum for a contractual claim and assess the documentary record before selecting either.
