To classify tenders by value threshold, you can use our public procurement value threshold checker.

Tender Support Services for Successful Bids

Tender Preparation

Based on the call for tenders and the procurement documentation requirements, we compile the documents and forms to be submitted through the Electronic Public Procurement System (EKR), as well as prepare declarations outside of the EKR, so the tenderer client typically only needs to sign. Preparing a tender requires adequate time from document review to final submission, which is why successful tenderers begin their preparations well in advance. We leave the completion of the bid summary sheet and pricing to our client, while providing support in compiling all other related documents. If a technical proposal is also required, we assist in its development as well.

Tenderer Questions and Dispute Resolution Requests

If questions arise on our client's behalf during the procedure, we provide assistance in formulating them precisely and uploading them to the EKR. Questions in a given procurement procedure can only be submitted within a specified deadline, making quick and accurate responses particularly important. When necessary, following our client's professional guidance, we also prepare and submit dispute resolution requests concerning the call for tenders or the procurement documentation. The consulting collaboration requires continuous communication, especially to ensure compliance with deadlines for submitting questions and requests for clarification.

Pre-Submission Tender Review

If the client requests it, there is also the option for us not to compile the tender ourselves but instead review it on an hourly basis against the contracting authority's requirements and recommend necessary corrections. Our warranty conditions also apply to this type of engagement. During the evaluation phase, we also provide comprehensive support in fulfilling clarification and rectification requests from the contracting authority and preparing responses to information requests. If you are active on both sides of the market, we are also happy to assist your work with consulting for contracting authorities.

Appeal Preparation

If the tenderer disagrees with the contracting authority's decision even after dispute resolution, there is the option to initiate appeal proceedings before the Public Procurement Arbitration Board. In such cases, we prepare a formal appeal containing all mandatory content elements and meeting formal requirements, and we also provide assistance in planning the necessary further steps. We offer recommendations for selecting the legal representative to be involved in the appeal proceedings, and in the case of a winning tender, we also provide support during the contract performance phase. We assist with managing the required documentation and ensuring compliance with procurement regulations throughout the entire implementation period.

Exclusion Grounds in Public Procurement Procedures

An exclusion ground is a legal violation or deficiency that prevents an economic operator (company or business) from participating in a public procurement procedure and whose absence must be demonstrated through the prescribed documents. Examples include tax debts, criminal records, formal errors, false declarations, or competition law violations. Required supporting documents may include, for example, a tax clearance certificate issued by the National Tax and Customs Administration, a certificate of clean criminal record, or certain financial suitability documents.

In practice, the most common reasons for exclusion are failure to comply with formal requirements, submission of incomplete documentation, or missing the tender submission deadline. However, a successful bid requires not only the avoidance of exclusion grounds but also meeting the suitability criteria appropriate to the nature of the procurement, such as demonstrating the required references or revenue requirements.
