Challenging procurement decisions requires quick and decisive legal action. We have substantial experience of bringing legal challenges in this area: to tendering invitations, procurement processes and final outcomes.

We bring a unique and strategic perspective to procurement challenges, having represented both unsuccessful bidders and third parties—such as charities and activist groups—challenging procurement decisions.

Often a procurement challenge will involve cross-cutting issues of human rights and equality law, where users of a service will be negatively affected, and we are expert in ensuring that these aspects of the claim are fully ventilated.

Our clients have included NHS activists fighting the privatisation of services, legal aid firms denied contracts, and domestic violence charities unfairly excluded from bidding processes.

We recognise that litigating in this area is a daunting task for small and medium-size organisations and we are expert in helping clients navigate the costs risks involved, including securing costs protection and maximising costs recovery for successful legal challenges.

Our team offers confidential, expert advice throughout the process, helping you make informed decisions quickly and effectively.
