Public Procurement Regulations

In light of the evolving geopolitical situation, unique opportunities emerge for suppliers to actively participate in the increased procurement activities aiming to safeguard national security.

Yet, the journey into public procurement may be complicated, as it calls for an understanding of the complex regulatory landscape as well as an understanding of the multifaceted geopolitical landscape.

Our experts provide comprehensive legal and strategic support to clients in the defence sector.

Our advice

We cover all aspects of EU and Danish procurement law and related public law regulation. We offer assistance from the very beginning of the procurement process until (and after) the decision to award a contract has been made, and our experience extends to the Directive in the Fields of Defence and Security (2009/81/EC) and the Directive on Public Procurement (2014/24/EU) - and the Danish Defence and the Danish Police operate under both.

Our assistance typically includes:

Strategic analyses of the overall tender documents
Assistance related to application for prequalification
Preparation, review, and quality assurance of tenders
Advice relating to the tendered contract, including risks and potential Danish regulatory matters
Advice after award of a tender contract, i.e. negotiation and signing of the contract
Advice after rejection of a tender
Requests for access to public information
Complaints
Advice during the term of the contract

Our assistance covers the situation where a contract is put out to tender, but we also have extensive experience with so-called 'voluntary tenders' and direct awards in Denmark, including contracts covered by the EC Treaty, article 346, and we advise on international joint procurement.

In addition, we have unique experience and inside knowledge as advisers to both contracting authorities and suppliers. We provide strategic advice on procurement processes, bid submissions, contract negotiations and regulatory compliance, ensuring our clients are well-positioned for success.
