Public Procurement and Effective Dispute Resolution in Portugal journal article

Ricardo Pedro

European Procurement & Public Private Partnership Law Review, Volume 18 (2023), Issue 4, Page 252 - 260

This article addresses the need for disputes arising from public procurement to be resolved quickly and effectively. The Portuguese legislator has adopted measures such as urgent state court proceedings and the creation of specialised public procurement courts to achieve this. Other means of resolution, such as administrative arbitration, has been mobilised. To this end, a specific regime for public procurement arbitration has been developed, imposing its urgent nature. However, the legal nature of public procurement arbitration has been the subject of controversy, especially in relation to its characterisation as voluntary or necessary/mandatory. In this context, this article addresses the legal possibility and the option for a necessary arbitration regime for the resolution of public procurement disputes. Keywords: Public procurement; Arbitration; Dispute resolution.


Legal Remedies for Public Private Partnerships in China journal article

Ziwei Zhang

European Procurement & Public Private Partnership Law Review, Volume 15 (2020), Issue 3, Page 216 - 224

Although improving the quality and efficiency of public services, Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) are vulnerable to risks and disputes. Therefore, establishing effective legal remedies is of great significance to PPPs. In China, the existing regulations of remedies for PPPs have some problems, eg regarding aspects of the remedies’ subjects, triggering conditions, and methods. To improve PPPs’ legal remedies, the remedies’ subjects and triggering conditions should be broadened, the remedies’ methods should be reformed, and the applicable legal framework should be further improved. Keywords: public private partnerships, public procurement law, dispute resolution, legal remedies, China
