Public Procurement

Whether you're a purchaser, supplier or vendor, the procurement process can be complex. Gowling WLG can help put your mind at ease by advising on strategies that are right for your business – from proposal preparation and tendering to contract dispute resolution and litigation.

We've developed sophisticated experience in bid protests, the application of international and domestic trade agreements, and litigation over public tenders. We also have significant strength in advising and assisting in the preparation and conduct of RFP and tenders.

Public and private procurements are subject to a wide range of regulations, laws, policies and customs. We can help you master the complexities of government procedures, understand the requirements of RFP and bid processes, follow ethical obligations, and achieve your procurement goals.

Home to some of Canada's top litigators, Gowling WLG has successfully represented clients in bid protests and challenges before all levels of court, including the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT), the Federal Court, the Federal Court of Appeal and the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

Having provided opinions on all major agreements, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, the World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement and the Agreement on Internal Trade, we can ensure your bidding actions are fully compliant so that you can focus on moving your procurement efforts forward.
