Dundas & Wilson regularly advises clients on procurement issues in the energy, water and transport sectors 

Utilities in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors are subject to a "lighter touch" set of EU public procurement rules.  

Our expert team advises on the setting up of strategic capital delivery and IT frameworks, and on the relevant exemptions for power generation and supply (e.g. in relation to renewable energy projects).  We advise on advertising requirements in the OJEU and on use of the negotiated procedure, including tender evaluation and debriefing requirements.

We also have a wealth of experience on the specific rules governing intra-group procurement ('affiliated undertakings') and mixed procurements, involving both regulated and non-regulated business activities.
