Our Procurement team provides clear, practical and commercially grounded advice on all aspects of public procurement law and practice. We act for a wide range of contracting authorities - including Registered Providers, local authorities, universities and collaborative procurement vehicles - as well as bidders and private sector suppliers. As experienced procurement law solicitors, we help clients navigate the Procurement Act 2023 and its associated secondary legislation across housing, health, leisure, facilities management, energy, care and education.
We combine specialist technical knowledge with an understanding of the broader commercial and regulatory pressures our clients face. Procurement is one part of a much wider operating environment involving building safety, viability, customer engagement and regulatory intervention. Our approach reflects this reality: we focus on solutions that meet legislative requirements while supporting organisational objectives.
Our team is known for providing straightforward, pragmatic and outcome-driven guidance. Whether advising on procurement strategy, drafting tender documentation or managing complex competitive processes, we support clients with advice that is precise, accessible and aligned with sector expectations. We also advise contractors and service providers bidding for public contracts, including on claims and challenges where bidders believe they have been treated unfairly.
