Understanding The Government Procurement (Judicial Review) Act 2018

KEYTAKEAWAYS

While the GPJR Act applies to all sectors involved in government contracting, its implications are especially relevant for large organisations operating in infrastructure, energy, and sustainability, where procurement decisions often involve high-value, long-term projects and significant public investment.

In highly competitive sectors, namely infrastructure, energy, and sustainability, one unsuccessful bid can have a major impact on your business strategy. As such, you may still have standing to challenge a decision where you can demonstrate a legitimate interest, even if your organisation was not awarded a contract,

By staying informed and prepared, your organisation can better navigate the risks associated with government contracting, ensuring that your bids are evaluated fairly and that any unlawful or unreasonable procurement decisions can be contested when necessary.
