Abeille Avocats, your partner in public procurement. Our lawyers specialising in public procurement have been working for many years with clients in the public sector, including local authorities, public bodies, and businesses. This extremely important part of the French economy, now governed by a specific code, is geared towards facilitating access to the market and ensuring the efficient use of public funds.
Our lawyers specialising in public procurement law put their expertise at the service of our clients, from the definition of the need to the selection of the contractual arrangement and even the drafting of the contract itself. Our expertise covers all types of contracts: supplies and services, works, intellectual services and specific design-build contracts.
We also support our clients in a wide range of litigation matters, from the execution stage, in particular pre-contractual and contractual summary proceedings, to proceedings on the merits, such as appeals challenging the validity of the “Tarn et Garonne” contract, appeals for the resumption of contractual relations under the “Béziers 2” contract, appeals under the “Transmanche” contract and others. Our expertise also covers disputes relating to performance (late payment penalties, defects, final statements, contractual and post-contractual guarantees, amicable or judicial expert appraisals).
We are also trained in alternative dispute resolution methods, in particular amicable procedures such as consultative committees for the settlement of public procurement disputes, mediation and conciliation.
Our lawyers specialising in public procurement law are available to assist you in Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, Lyon, Montpellier, Nice, Nîmes and Paris.
