Procurement

Power up your procurement. Providing public sector organisations and utilities with advice on procurement strategy and risk management.

Procurement

Providing solutions for bidding organisations when procurement goes wrong.

Procurement law can be a minefield. So it’s important to seek expert advice to make sure your procurement process is as risk-free as possible.

The team provides contentious and non-contentious support to public and private sector organisations, utilities and suppliers. Our combined expertise and experience mean that our commercial and pragmatic approach to risk is second to none.

We sit on the panels of organisations such as Tees Valley Combined Authority (TVCA), the North East Purchasing Organisation (NEPO), British Business Bank and PD Ports.

Whether you’re a bidder or a buyer, our legal experts can help you make sense of the rules and provide innovative solutions to your procurement needs.
