BPCC Academy: LAW IN PRACTICE – Subcontracting in public contracts

BPCC together with Anna Szymańska and Michał Drozdowicz of the Dentons Public Procurement practice have the pleasure of inviting you to a seminar on subcontracting in public contracts, during which they will discuss a selection of practical issues worth considering in the run-up to the expected new wave of public projects.

The workshops will be held in Polish

Subcontracting will be explored by separately looking at the tendering stage and the public contract performance stage.

The topics relevant to the tendering stage which we intend to discuss include:

- the subcontractors’ potential as a factor contributing to success in the rivalry for public contracts
- rules of resource utilization
- third-party liability risksp

For the public contract performance stage, we will explore:

- issues relating to civil law contracts and the protection of subcontractors on the grounds of public procurement law
- possibilities of replacing or letting go subcontractors contributing their resources to the contractor’s potential
