"Harnessing the power of competition"
If you decide to outsource functions, or to recompete those already outsourced, Petrillo & Powell, PLLC can help you through the process of selecting a vendor and concluding a contract. We have salient expertise in competitive procurements, and understand in depth the tender, selection, and negotiation processes.
We have learned that a fair and open competitive process will encourage vendors to give you their best offers. Actualizing the power of competition requires a stable and predicable environment in which all the players, and especially the vendors, know what is expected of them. We know the steps you will have to traverse, from identifying sources to implementing the deal..
We believe in drafting clear and understandable documents for the request for bids or tenders and, of course, the ultimate contract. We have found that negotiations provide feedback which both sides need to address. We believe in open and detailed communications, consistent with the need to protect legitimate vendor trade secrets.
Our attorneys have experience with all aspects of this process. They have advised vendors and Government agencies on competitive acquisitions for many years. They have reviewed dozens of government procurements, including the basis for selection decisions. They know what works well and what doesn’t, and where the pitfalls are. Joseph J. Petrillo has long experience in information technology contracting, a frequently-outsourced area. Karen D. Powell has run the contracting program for a major medical research organization. In sum, Petrillo & Powell, PLLC is prepared to help you oursource successfully.
