About

Provided by PRA - Raposo, Sá Miranda & Associados

PRA has expertise in large-scale public tender processes and handles all related matters, including: 

• On the contractor side: advice from the beginning of the pre-contractual proceedings, during all of its phases, until awarding, and during the contract performance 
• On the bidder side advice to companies entering bidding at tender processes, including the definition of the tender strategy, production and validation of the bid documents 

Public law litigation is another area of focus for the team. We represent clients in complex disputes which arise from public tender awards. We have proven track record of successfully challenging the results of tenders awarded by means of judicial claims. 

PRA’s practice stands out for its experience in public tender processes for water and waste management services, as well as to construction projects in the north of the country. 

PRA is frequently instructed by public entities, state owned companies and regional municipalities due to its in-depth knowledge of the Portuguese legal framework. This in-depth knowledge also serves to advise private clients on public procurement and other routine public law matters. 

PRA’s public law advice combines in-depth technical knowledge with a high level of client service. The team offers genuine experience in the intricacies of the new electronic platform system for public tenders.
