Public Procurement

The quality of public goods and services is increasingly affected by the degree of knowledge of public procurement management tools and the appropriate adoption of contract management best practices and protocols. Also, the successful performance of contracts entered into with the State or with stateowned entities depends greatly on highly specialized
knowledge of public procurement and administrative law, Project Finance, anti-corruption regulations, and a
deep understanding of how the State and state-owned entities work.

We offer our Clients the following services, among others:

  • Drafting of legal memorandums regarding public procurement and administrative law, constitutional law, and fiscal and disciplinary liability;
  • Drafting and review of pre-contractual public procurement documents that are part of the public procurement process in Colombia, such as preliminary studies, market studies, terms of reference and risk matrixes;
  • Advice, support and representation of Clients in connection with bidding processes undertook by the State or state-owned entities;
  • Advice and support of Clients regarding performance of contracts entered into with the State or state-owned entities;
  • Advice and support of Clients regarding termination and liquidation of state or stateowned entities;
  • Advise and support of Clients regarding regulations related to infrastructure and public procurement, regulatory and statutory reforms, and definition of public policy for both private, and state and state-owned entities.

We also have a highly specialized team in infrastructure disputes and contracts entered into with the State and state-owned entities. Our experience includes a great deal of complex litigation before Colombian administrative courts, as well as in arbitration disputes, in which we have successfully represented state and state-owned entities and private parties.

We have the ability and experience to provide the following services:
