If a company wishes to provide certain services to the government, it must comply with public contract regulations. Strict compliance with the specific rules and procedures is crucial in this respect. The training course “Legislation on Public Contracts” offers an introduction to public contract legislation and goes into the practical concepts and procedural knowledge.

This is above all a practical training course – very hands-on and not about too legal-based – which will give you an insight into the terminology, the different procurement procedures and the related steps, the selection and award criteria and many practical aspects.
