Procurement Disputes

The team at Cleaver Fulton Rankin are here to help you resolve procurement challenges and disputes in a quick, concise and cost effective manner.

We act for both contracting authorities defending challenges, and bidders considering contesting procurement processes or outcomes.

The early stages of a procurement challenge are critical. Should bidding organisations discover an issue with the procurement documents or decisions, do not delay as time limits to compel the procuring authority to make changes are very short.

Equally, contracting authorities receiving correspondence or indeed proceedings in respect of tenders should deal with same as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Often, our involvement at an early stage can defuse the issues and mean that litigation is avoided. However, should litigation proceed, we work closely alongside the client team, keeping your overall objectives clearly in mind and developing strategic approaches to the management of the challenge.
