Public Procurement Law
Public Procurement Law, which regulates the procurement of goods, services, and works by the state and state economic enterprises, is a highly technical and strictly rule-bound branch of law that guarantees the spending of billions of liras in public resources within a fair, transparent, and competitive market environment. Our firm provides end-to-end legal consultancy and litigation services to domestic and international bidders, contractors, and investors—ranging from the beginning of the tender process to the liquidation of the contract—primarily under Public Procurement Law No. 4734 and Public Procurement Contracts Law No. 4335 (4735).
Drafting or reviewing tender documents, objections to administrative specifications, complaint and objection-complaint processes before the Public Procurement Authority (KİK), and filing stay of execution and annulment lawsuits before Administrative Courts constitute our core areas of expertise. We ensure that relationships between public authorities and the private sector are conducted within the framework of legal rationality and principles of equality.
