Governmental bodies
We act as advisors and external experts for policy makers (on both national and European level), give advice and guidance to contracting authorities and conduct research in the field of public procurement (specifically in relation to innovation and sustainability). Expertise areas include large ICT infrastructure, construction, public utilities (e.g. water) and R&D projects.
In the last years, we have increasingly been involved in supporting governmental institutions and contracting authorities to embed policy aspects, such as innovation, Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) participation and sustainability, in their procurement strategies. Social sustainability is another focus areas that Corvers has specialized on. We are broadening our expertise upon the legal rationale and the effectiveness of using the procurement instrument as a way to achieve policy goals.
