The rules for procurement play a major role for all those participating in the public procurement market, and the disproportionately complicated tendering rules give rise to a considerable demand for advice. The skill here includes advice from both bidders and contracting entities.
The rules for procurement are effectively enforced and violations can trigger serious penalties in the form of, for example, the annulment of the award decision or even the contract, compensation of the tenderer’s lost profits or wasted costs, or the imposition of the payment of a financial allowance to the State of up to many millions.
For thirty years René Offersen has published books and articles on procurement and has made a considerable number of contributions to conferences and seminars, including internationally.
