Procurement

A Guide to Public Procurement in CEE

Prepared by the international law firm Allen & Overy, 2011. 


The objective of this publication is to provide a brief overview of some of the main issues that the authors have identified in the public procurement rules in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) whilst advising their clients in tender processes, as well as providing some practical tips that may help in the bidding process – either to avoid disqualification, seek a review, or simply bid in the future on a more informed basis.
