Public procurement and contracts advice

Out-of-court advice across the whole tender cycle: opinions on the Public Contracts Code (Legislative Decree 36/2023) and its amendment, drafting of documents, e-procurement platforms, support for the RUP. For contracting authorities and economic operators, across Italy.

Who it’s for

Who turns to the practice

Contracting authorities

Public bodies and tender offices that design and run the procedures: they need consistent documents, reasoned choices and workable timelines, from the decision to contract to signing.

The RUP

Single project officers answerable for schedules, checks and obligations: they need a written answer, fast and well-founded — not an improvised one.

Economic operators

Businesses and professionals bidding on tenders: they need to understand the specifications before bidding, set up the paperwork, clarify requirements and thresholds.

Recurring cases

The problems we solve

  • The tender has to be published on a certified platform and the office has never used it.
  • The specifications need writing — or revising — and the schedule is pressing.
  • A point of interpretation stalls the procedure: thresholds, requirements, grounds for exclusion, abnormally low bids.
  • ANAC obligations are piling up and the RUP has been left alone.
  • The call for tenders is unclear and the business must decide whether and how to bid.

In every one of these cases the output is a document: a written opinion, an instrument ready for publication, a procedure set up correctly.

From the rule to the platform

Advice on Legislative Decree 36/2023

Applying the Public Contracts Code and its amendment (Legislative Decree 209/2024): setting up procedures, conformity checks, updating internal templates and regulations.

Tender documents

Decision to contract, specifications, invitation letters, technical schedules and contract templates: drafting and revision, with an eye to the internal consistency of the whole file.

E-procurement platforms

MePA, SDAPA and certified digital procurement platforms: configuring procedures, hands-on support during the tender stages, managing the related obligations.

Support for the RUP

Working alongside the single project officer: tender schedules, checks on operators, communications and filings to ANAC. Ongoing or on a single procedure.

Opinions on points of interpretation

Thresholds and how to calculate them, choice of procedure, grounds for exclusion, abnormally low bids, contract clauses: written, reasoned answers, ready to cite in the documents.


Legal references

Legislative Decree 36/2023 (Public Contracts Code) and its amendment Legislative Decree 209/2024; ANAC acts and guidance; technical rules on certified platforms. Every opinion cites verified sources, up to date as of the delivery date.

How it works

Three steps, in writing

  1. Request

    You describe the procedure or the question: subject, value, deadlines. A couple of lines and the documents already to hand are enough.

  2. Analysis

    We examine the documents and the legal framework — Code, amendment, ANAC guidance — and agree the scope, timing and fee in writing.

  3. Delivery

    You receive the opinion or the documents requested, with verified legal references. We stay available for implementation: revisions, tender stages, obligations.

The advice can cover a single question, one tender or ongoing support for the office — entirely remotely too.
