Competitive Dialogue in
Procurement
Dr David MoseyTrowers & Hamlins LLP
What is Competitive Dialogue?
• Competitive Dialogue (CD) is an EU procurement process, an alternative to the Restricted Procedure
• Not as scary/expensive as clients/bidders may think• Flexible procedure after prequalification – for example,
Invitation to Submit Detailed Solutions/dialogue with minimum of three bidders/Best and Final Offers
• Trowers & Hamlins have devised “lean” version of CD used with Affinity Sutton and echelon
When is Competitive Dialogue suitable?
• For a “particularly complex contract” where client cannot define technical means capable of satisfying its needs or objectives or specify either the legal or financial make up of the project
• Housing procurements suitable for CD where delivery structures/solutions not predetermined by the client
• Allows client to negotiate on key deliverables in a controlled and succinct way and to overcome inflexibility of Restricted Procedure
Context of the Affinity Sutton Competitive Dialogue
• Affinity Sutton building on experience of partnering (TPC2005) and of DLO (CBS)
• Options of wholly-owned subsidiary/joint venture/ conventional partnering contract dependent on detail of bidders’ proposals
• CD used to explore alternative options, including strength/ viability of attractive wholly-owned subsidiary model
