Procurement and Supply

We have considerable experience of advising in relation to a wide variety of general commercial agreements including advising on a broad range of purchasing, procurement and outsourcing matters in relation to goods and services (including software and IT systems).

As well as advising, drafting, reviewing and negotiating supply contracts, we also advise on a daily basis in relation to risk analysis and management and minimising exposure to potential liabilities.

A brief summary of the types of procurement and supply work which we regularly handle is set out below:

• Framework procurement/outsourcing arrangements including associated service descriptions, service level agreements, and benchmarking provisions
• Standard terms and conditions of business
• Standard terms and conditions for the supply or purchase of goods and/or services

• Agreements for the procurement of call centre operation services and IT infrastructure/services
• Appointment of consultants
• Agreements for the procurement of database development, management and hosting services
