Course details

Public Procurement Law is an influential and highly topical field of public policy and legislation which holds an important place within EU economic law. This area is evolving rapidly and is becoming increasingly more litigious. This has created a booming public procurement-related industry in the past few years.

A thorough understanding of public procurement law protects public bodies and utilities from challenge and informs tenderers, funders or other interested parties - protecting their rights in such competitions. On completion of this course, graduates will have a thorough knowledge of public procurement laws, the tendering process and the judicial review process. The Course will be presented by top barristers and partners of large law firms who are practicing in this area.
