We are delighted to announce details on the forthcoming ‘Public Procurement Litigation Conference 2016’ taking place on 23rd June in the Royal Marine Hotel, Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin
Over the past twelve months litigation in the procurement field has become a growing issue and the way tenders are handled and chosen is causing a big stir in the Irish Public Procurement space. Non-compliance with the New Public Procurement Directive seems to be becoming a major concern and partly the reason for the increase in litigation cases in Public Procurement.
This conference will dig deep into the various, administrative and legal challenges you must be up to speed on, how to avoid future cases and legal disputes, plus hear from important legal challenges that have gone through the courts which are shaping Irelands Public procurement arena going forward.
This is a must attend event for any professionals directly or indirectly involved in public procurement in Ireland or the legal system surrounding it.
See below event programme for a full list of key topics to be covered on the day
