Administrative Law and Public Procurement

Administrative Law, in all its aspects, is becoming increasingly important in all areas of legal activity.

The BAS team provides legal advice to public and private entities in a wide range of matters within this practice area, especially in all fields where administrative law governs legal relations between parties.

BAS has advised public and private clients in a wide range of sectors, including Health, Tourism, Internal Administration, Food, Pharmaceuticals, Education and Vocational Training, Maritime and Environmental areas.

Public procurement and administrative contracts are now central domains of administrative activity, constituting one of BAS’s main areas of expertise – through a dynamic, experienced, qualified team prepared to provide legal intervention in large-scale public projects.

The scientific and practical specificity of Public Procurement justifies a high degree of specialization, such as that possessed by BAS professionals who carry out their work in this area.

BAS provides advisory services on all matters related to pre-contractual procedures for the execution of all types of contracts for the acquisition of goods and services, as well as construction contracts, concession contracts and public-private partnerships.

In this area, BAS lawyers provide legal counsel to some of the most important public-private partnership projects implemented in Portugal.

The work of BAS professionals is also characterized by providing training on the fundamental legal instruments of this area of ​​practice within the scope of the Public Contracts Code (CCP) to various public and private entities, in order to enable them to respond with high levels of effectiveness to the new challenges of public procurement.
