Our Services and Expertise
The Procurement Act 2023 has introduced significant reforms to public procurement in England and Wales. In response to these changes, DWF has established the Procurement Centre of Excellence (“PCE”) to provide technically excellent and practical advice on procurement strategy and implementation.
Our Procurement Portal offers contracting authorities and suppliers immediate access to:
- market-leading procurement specialists who provide daily advice;
- extensive procurement precedents proven in successful procedures;
- sector specialists who updated the Model Service Contract and other template documents; and
- a programme of webinars on complex procurement law topics.
Our PCE specialists also offer a variety of expertise in procurement disputes, acting on both sides of procurement challenges for contracting authorities and suppliers alike. With extensive experience in procurement proceedings within the Technology and Construction Court, we have successfully defended numerous claims on behalf of Local and Central Government bodies. Our team of experienced and skilled dispute resolution advisers takes a multi-disciplinary approach to procurement disputes, ensuring the best possible outcomes for clients in various challenges, projects, and strategic advice throughout the procurement process, including pre-action and litigated challenges.
