The specialist partners and attorneys of Graf von Westphalen's highly respected public-procurement team are active across Germany. Our team is one of the largest and most resourceful groups of experts in Germany.
We have a long track record of advising, assisting and supporting both public institutions and private companies in national and international contract-bidding procedures, privatizations and private public partnerships (PPP).
The focus of our public-procurement assistance is IT, building construction, municipal development, transport (air and rail transportation, ports), schools, hospitals, medical institutions, resources, emergency medical services as well as waste disposal/waste-water management.
On the principal side, we provide comprehensive advice in the preparation and execution of contract-letting procedures (preparation of award documents and contracts as well as contract negotiation) all the way to follow-up contract management.
On the bidder side, we help prepare requests to participate and bids, identify breaches of public-procurement law and reprimands as well as address prohibitions on contract issuance. In addition, we represent principals and bidders in verification procedures before public procurement complaint boards, higher regional courts and the European Court of Justice as well as in lawsuits.
