PPP and Public Procurement

The State and municipalities work with the private sector on infrastructure projects, despite their complexity. This approach helps sharing the financial burden, responsibilities, and risks associated with these projects. Given that these collaborations are often long-term, it’s crucial that all relationships and responsibilities between the parties are clearly defined.

If you’re considering such investments or collaborations, we can assist you by advising on the best types and models for your project.

We’ll guide you through every step of the process, including preparing the necessary legal documents and decisions for the public-private partnership model of your choice.

Another form of public-private collaboration is public procurement. These proceedings involve a lot of administrative work and strict adherence to public procurement rules. We offer legal consulting services for both the principal and the provider / bidder throughout all stages of public procurement. This includes conducting audits, preparing necessary legal documents, and managing the relationships between contracting parties.
