IT procurement and contract disputes

Home / Services

Deutsch

Public IT procurement and complex business projects need precise specifications and contracts. We support suppliers and customers through procurement, negotiations and performance disputes.

How we help

  • Specifications, selection and award criteria, EVB-IT terms and bidder questions.
  • Procurement objections, review proceedings, documentation and contract modifications.
  • Defects, service-level failures, payment, liability, termination, settlement and arbitration clauses.

A practical example

A tender requires a named product without a clear route for equivalents. A bidder should assess requirements and deadlines promptly; remedies can be substantially restricted after award.

What the assessment covers

We start with the intended outcome, the parties involved and the applicable territories. The next step is to examine the documents and evidence, identify deadlines and compare the available contractual or procedural options. The scope of work and fees are agreed before substantive work begins.

Documents for the first discussion

Tender documents, deadlines, bidder correspondence, draft contract and technical specification.

What if a deadline is already running?

Please give the exact deadline and send the relevant correspondence when making contact. Do not assume that an enquiry alone creates a retainer or that a deadline is being monitored.
