Practice areas

Public procurement

We act for contracting authorities and for tenderers. Once a procedure is running there is little room to move, so most of the work is decided when the documentation is assembled and the bid's formal compliance is checked: a request for clarification does not fix everything.

  • Running full public procurement procedures for contracting authorities
  • Preparing and pre-checking tenders and requests to participate
  • Support in centralised public procurement procedures
  • Running procurements financed from grant funding
  • Remedy proceedings before the Public Procurement Arbitration Board
  • Procurement law questions on contract amendment and performance

Questions clients ask us

Can a foreign company bid in a Hungarian public procurement?

Yes. Setting up a Hungarian company is not required, but suitability has to be evidenced with documents issued under the bidder's own law, with certified Hungarian translations, and the absence of exclusion grounds has to be proved. For foreign bidders the most common source of failure is formal compliance: translation, dating and evidence of signing authority.

What can be done if a bid is excluded from the procedure?

A remedy application can be filed with the Public Procurement Arbitration Board, within a short preclusive deadline running from when the decision came to the bidder's knowledge. That deadline decides most cases, so inspection of the file and analysis of the reasoning have to start immediately, not after the contract is signed.
