Compliant IT Procurement

Public authorities award contracts worth hundreds of billions of euros annually. Legal robustness, economic efficiency, and the consideration of sustainability aspects are key success factors in public procurement. A structured and comprehensive procurement preparation is essential for a smooth process. It helps to avoid procedural risks, delays, complaints, and cost overruns while enabling an efficient and well-founded award process.

Procurement of ICT services: Structured, transparent and product-neutral

The procurement of telecommunications (TC) and information technology (IT) services is particularly demanding. A wide range of formal requirements and procedural rules must be taken into account in order to conduct procurements in a robust and transparent manner and to minimise the risk of challenges by unsuccessful bidders. Even minor inaccuracies in process design or documentation can have far-reaching consequences.

In addition to procedural rigor, in-depth technical expertise and up-to-date market knowledge are critical success factors in ICT procurement. We support contracting authorities with a sound understanding of current technologies and market offerings. This enables requirement specifications that are closely aligned with actual needs − avoiding both unnecessary overdimensioning and solutions that fall short of functional or performance expectations.

Our manufacturer- and product-neutral approach, combined with comprehensive ICT expertise, provides a reliable foundation for objective and transparent procurement processes. We support you in designing ICT procurements that are technically sound, market-oriented, and procedurally robust − contributing to fair competition and traceable decision-making within the applicable regulatory framework.
