Course description
Procurement disputes give rise to several particular issues not present in other proceedings. In addition, due to the short limitation periods applicable under the procurement regulations and the need to enter into the awarded contract, proceedings typically move rapidly, involve many interim court applications and require time commitment from both those involved in preparing bids and those involved in evaluating them.
Presented by Anne Littlewood, this webinar will provide practical guidance for bringing and defending procurement challenges, enabling you to familiarise yourself with what to expect to help manage the pressures involved.
Anne has worked on a wide range of projects located across the globe, with the main focus of her work focusing on assisting clients to avoid disputes wherever possible.
