Riley Consulting

Effective dispute avoidance starts with effective procurement.  This is more than simply choosing which form of contract to use but encompasses a range of considerations including where and how to transfer risk; how to harness the client's purchasing power to give effect to important corporate and social policies; and how to utilise EU procurement directives in the most flexible way.

We help our clients to structure their framework arrangements by providing the appropriate contract documentation tied to their programmes of work and supported by practical arrangements to make the framework successful.

The way in which we manage complex procurement arrangements provides assurance to clients and bidders alike that due probity is observed in all dealings. This reduces the risk of legal challenges from aggrieved tenderers.

Additionally our stringent quality control procedures ensure that contracts, when ready for signature, are entire, complete and properly describe the parties' undertakings.  This means that contracts entered into properly reflect the client's business case and provide the greatest value for money solution.
