Public Procurement – Turning Complexity into Your Competitive Advantage

HomePractice AreasPublic Procurement – Turning Complexity into Your Competitive Advantage

In the dynamic and highly regulated world of public procurement, success depends not only on submitting a strong bid, but also on flawless legal compliance and effective protection of your rights. As experts in Macedonian law, our team provides comprehensive legal support grounded in a deep understanding of the regulatory framework and extensive analysis of case law. We do more than guide you through the process — we actively safeguard you against risks that could jeopardize your business objectives, ensuring that every step complies with the principles of transparency, equal treatment, competition, and proportionality as set out in the Law on Public Procurement (LPP).

Our goal is to transform the complexity of public procurement into your competitive advantage. Through detailed analysis and a strategic approach, we provide end-to-end services covering every stage of the process.

Flawless Tender Documentation – The Foundation of Success

Macedonian courts and the State Commission for Appeals in Public Procurement are rigorous — every bid must fully comply with all requirements in the tender documentation to be considered an “acceptable offer.” Even minor errors can lead to disqualification.

Our team prepares and thoroughly reviews your bid to ensure that every document — from evidence of qualifications to technical specifications and guarantees — is both formally and substantively flawless. This eliminates the risk of disqualification and maximizes your chances of success.

Expert Navigation of the Electronic Public Procurement System (ESJN)

The ESJN is the central platform for all public procurement activities. Our deep knowledge of its functions ensures efficiency, security, and confidence throughout the process:

  • Registration and profile management: We guide you through account registration and proper configuration of your user profile, ensuring that all data is accurate and up-to-date.
  • Bid preparation and submission: We provide technical and legal support for preparing and submitting your bid electronically, including proper use of a qualified electronic signature, guaranteeing the integrity and confidentiality of your submission. The ESJN encrypts bids to prevent access before the official opening, protecting sensitive information.
  • Efficient communication: We manage all communications with the contracting authority through the ESJN, including submitting timely requests for clarification of tender documents.
Strategic Participation in Electronic Auctions

If the procurement procedure includes an electronic auction as a final stage, we help you prepare and participate strategically. We analyze the initial ranking, interpret the rules for reverse bidding, and advise on tactics to achieve the best possible outcome, taking into account the automatic ranking mechanisms in the ESJN.

Robust Legal Protection – Defending Your Rights

If you believe your rights have been violated during a procurement procedure, our team is ready to act swiftly and decisively:

  • Preparation and submission of appeals: Any economic operator with a legal interest who believes they have suffered harm is entitled to legal protection through an appeal. We prepare comprehensive, well-argued appeals, submit them via the ESJN within the legally prescribed deadlines, and manage the entire procedure before the State Commission for Appeals in Public Procurement.
  • Representation in administrative disputes: Decisions of the State Commission cannot be appealed further, but an administrative dispute may be filed with the Administrative Court. Our team provides expert representation before this court and, if necessary, before the Higher Administrative Court. The Administrative Court must decide within a short period, and if it annuls the Commission’s decision, it issues a ruling on the appeal itself, providing effective and final protection.

This approach ensures that your participation in public procurement is not only compliant but also strategically optimized, protecting your business and maximizing your competitive potential.
