Mariana Ciocoiu
The development of an enterprise often leads to encounters with public owned entities and institutions and, therefore, triggers the necessity of compliance with the complex and sometimes challenging applicable regulations in PPP & Public Procurement. The permanently evolving legal framework at the EU level and the necessity to accordingly adjust national regulations and proceedings makes the PPP & Public Procurement area a very dynamic sector, generating the necessity of permanent adaptation for all involved players.
Complying with formalism – an exercise which requires expertise
The complexity of the applicable regulations in the PPP & Public Procurement area requires an in-depth knowledge of the technicalities of preliminary legal and administrative procedures, tendering regulations, as well as post-tendering obligations. Our lawyers have an extensive expertise in providing legal advice both to contracting authorities and economic operators, in ensuring compliance of the tender documents and procedures with the applicable regulations, as well as implementing a successfully completed procedure. The structuring and implementation of consortiums, the review and drafting of tendering documentations, dealing with contentious administrative or judicial matters arising from tendering procedures, are just a few of the highlights of our lawyers' expertise.
Public Private Partnerships – usually a long term venture
PPPs have recently developed in many fields, due to the benefit public authorities could have from the know-how of the private sector and to public budget constraints. As such a venture should be beneficial for both parties involved, the preliminary procedures, as well as the contractual relationships between the parties, require professional detailing. Our lawyers have gained the skills and proficiency to provide extensive advice to PPPs parties involved in infrastructure or services areas ,as well as in concessions, by considering the particularities of each partnership or project, being fully aware of the, usually, medium or long term implications of each decision.
