Public tenders are competitive procedures in which eligible bidders are given government contracts. Despite being intended to guarantee equity and openness, these processes frequently result in disagreements over things like unjust disqualifications, skewed assessments, or procurement law infractions.

To safeguard rights, assure equitable treatment, and guarantee adherence to government procurement laws, competent legal counsel is essential.
