Competition & Public Procurement

Competition Law and Assistance in Public Procurement Procedures.

01

The business context

Competition rules constitute the framework that defines market access. In this sphere, the line between aggressive commercial strategy and infringement is fine, and the consequences are severe. Sanctions for unfair competition or cartel agreements are among the highest under the law and can reach drastic proportions relative to the company's turnover.

In parallel, participation in public procurement provides access to significant public resources, but requires uncompromising formalism. Success here depends not only on price, but on the ability to navigate complex procedural requirements, where a single technical error leads to immediate disqualification.
