public sector and technology

The public sector is one of the hungriest consumers of ICT products and services in the UK. For 2006 the total annual spend by the UK public sector on ICT has been estimated at more than £8bn. Few technology providers can afford to ignore a market of that size and value.

However, winning business from the public sector tends to be expensive and unpredictable. For many technology companies the hurdle is simply too great to overcome.

Our thorough understanding of the machinery of public procurement means we can ensure that our bidding clients are treated fairly at every stage. We help them win business on the right terms – terms that will deliver a good deal for both sides over the lifetime of the contract.

Key areas of our expertise include:

Acting for public sector purchasers and private sector bidders in an array of PFI and PPP projects
Advising on suspected breaches of the public procurement regulatory regime
Drafting and negotiating contracts consistent with standardised documentation published by OGC, the MoD, Partnerships for Schools and other central purchasing bodies

Providing advice which is consistent with policy, whether originating from central government or a local authority
