Public tenders often involve large scale, multi-faceted investments, and legal compliance is essential in order to avoid incurring potential financial losses and administrative sanctions.
Public procurement rules within the EU are complex and often full of surprises for contracting entities and participating businesses, alike. The applicable procurement legislation is also subject to continuous renewal and amendment. The legislation provides certain possibilities for contracting entities, but also imposes stringent obligations and responsibilities.
