Expertise

Where legal acumen meets innovative solutions

Governmental Institutions

The procurement of contracts by local and central government entities, public bodies, and authorities is governed by EU and Cyprus law, ensuring that individuals and corporate entities in the private sector benefit from fair and transparent tendering processes. Compliance with the applicable legal framework is essential for safeguarding these rights.

At Harris Kyriakides, we offer expert legal advice on all aspects of public procurement, covering supplies, services, and works contracts. Our services include structuring tender transactions, selecting the appropriate tendering procedures, and preparing and advising on procurement documentation. We also conduct thorough evaluations of tenders and manage the procurement process, including contract award issues.

In addition, we represent individuals and corporations before the Tender Review Authority and the Cyprus Supreme Court in public procurement disputes. Our practice encompasses both hierarchical and judicial recourses challenging the validity of tender awards made by public authorities and state organs in Cyprus, as well as temporary measures and appellate procedures.

We are proud to represent numerous local governmental organisations, including the Larnaka Municipality, Athienou Municipality, and the Larnaka Water Board, among others.
