Preparing a bid for a public service contract is a balancing act between taking on manageable levels of risk and submitting a compliant bid which scores well in the tender evaluation. Our team has extensive experience of working with bidders to help them submit winning tenders. We adopt a commercial approach to identify contractual and regulatory risks and devise practical strategies to manage them. Getting the contract right form the outset can have a profound effect on the sustainability of the enterprise going forward.
Key issues on which our input is often sought include:
- Warranties and indemnities
- Limitation of liability and insurance
- Payment and performance measurement systems
- Variations and Change Clauses
- Termination and exit arrangements
- Ownership of intellectual property rights
