PLC Public Sector reports:
Are you constantly asked the same question by client departments? Do you find yourself looking up the answer to the same question time after time?
Following on from the launch of our schools hotline service, PLC Public Sector is compiling a list of frequently asked questions about procurement law and practice.
The FAQs will be aimed at people with the full spectrum of procurement expertise. Therefore we hope that our responses to the FAQs will provide a valuable resource to procurement lawyers in the public sector both as a resource for their own research and also as something they can provide directly to their clients.
Examples of questions that will be included in our first series of FAQs are:
- What are the “Treaty principles” and why do I need to know them?
- What is Teckal?
- Who do I have to send an Alcatel letter to?
- Do I need to disclose to bidders what my selection criteria are?
If you have any suggestions for any questions that we should include, please either submit a comment below or email us at publicsector@practicallaw.com.
As with all our materials, after publication, PLC Public Sector will continually update and add to our FAQs to provide the best assistance possible to our subscribers. If at anytime you come accross an issue that you do not think is covered by our FAQs, or our procurement materials generally, please do not hesitate to let us know.
