Public Procurement – New Law from the Bidder’s Viewpoint

TSG Tomić Sinđelić Groza Law Office is inviting you on Wednesday, 27 May 2020 at 10:00 – 11:30 to webinar on:

Public Procurement – New Law from the Bidders’ Perspective

via Teams application.

The Republic of Serbia has adopted a new Public Procurement Law, which will become effective on 1 July 2020. The new law aims to increase efficiency and competitiveness in public procurement procedures, by reducing administrative burden and costs of participation in proceedings (particularly for SMEs) on the one hand, and by increasing transparency and efficiency in implementing public procedure on the other.

What are the impacts on the bidders – in terms of the new Public Procurement Portal, participation requirements, protection of the bidders’ rights and other issues – and any other question you may have, will be addressed by our attorney-at-law Predrag Groza.

Join our Webinar by registering at office@tsg.rs. Following registration, you will receive a link to join the Webinar.
