Government Contracting

Government is a special customer. Its purchases are typically very expensive; it uses taxpayers’ money; it sells public assets.

Government procedures and decisions face scrutiny before, during and after contracts have been signed. For officials more than just commerce is relevant. At the highest level, national security and the economy can benefit from good decisions, or be compromised by poor decisions.

Private companies who seek out these business opportunities must recognise and accommodate these factors in their approach to tendering and contracting. They need to traverse a complex array of procurement regulations and guidelines.

assisting our clients

Our job at Moulis Legal is to assist our clients with bid design, compliance and negotiations up to contract stage, and with administration, management and rights enforcement post contract. Key issues of project deliverables, intellectual property protection, technology transfer, time and cost risk, and warranties and indemnities must be defined and understood. Our experience extends from contracting within the purview of the Commonwealth Procurement Guidelines, to major Defence, sole source and asset sale contracts.
