About

Provided by JDP Drapała Chomiuk & Partners

JDP’s Public Procurement practice advises Polish and international clients across all stages of public procurement procedures, including complex tender processes, appeal proceedings and contract performance, with a particular focus on infrastructure, energy and transport sectors. The team is regularly involved in the largest and most high-profile projects on the Polish market, often exceeding multi-billion PLN value, and frequently setting standards for future procurement practice.

The practice is recognised for handling complex and precedent-setting disputes before the National Appeals Chamber and common courts, including cases addressing key systemic issues such as contractor exclusion, self-cleaning mechanisms and the limits of contracting authorities’ powers. Many of these cases have had a direct impact on the interpretation and application of Polish and EU public procurement law.

The team acts for leading international and domestic contractors, including major construction and engineering companies, and continues to expand its client base with global players entering the Polish market. With a high volume of appeal proceedings handled each year and a strong track record of success, JDP is widely regarded as one of the leading public procurement teams in Poland.
