Public procurement law as a complementary addition to the services offered by BBS & Partners
9 July 2025 • Autor: Kancelaria Brysiewicz Bokina i Wspólnicy
Despite a period full of economic challenges, we are not slowing down our pace of development and are supplementing our offer of legal services with complementary specialisations. One of the firm’s leading and most marketable practices is advising on obtaining EU funds, awarding grants and implementing projects financed from EU funds. A natural complement to the specialisation, in turn, is the newly launched Public Procurement Law (PPP) practice, headed by lawyer Kamila Mizeracka, who has extensive experience of over 15 years in this area of law.
Public procurement regulations have been changing very dynamically in recent years, which often results, among both Contracting Authorities and Contractors, in a sense of incomplete or fragmented knowledge, which can result in costly mistakes in the ‘art of procurement’ on both sides. In the case of purchasing procedures using EU funds, the value of contracts may be particularly high, thus generating greater risks for Contractors participating in the procedure.
This is when specialists come to the rescue, keeping abreast of legislative changes and armed with practical knowledge of how to handle proceedings, tendering, the appeals procedure or the electronicisation of procurement. In the current uncertain market environment, overshadowed by the coronavirus outbreak, winning public procurement contracts is often crucial to maintaining financial liquidity and business survival. BBS and Partners law firm, aware of the role of the public source of contracts, decided to secure the interests of its clients in the public and private sectors by partnering with Kamila Mizeracka, who has taken on the position of practice leader.
The pace of change in the Public Procurement Law makes it essential for Contracting Authorities and Contractors to have a stable and experienced partner to take care of the full process of awarding or obtaining a contract. Joining a team that has already made a name for itself as an opinion-leader in the field of public assistance is a source of personal professional satisfaction for me and I am convinced that the Public Procurement Law is another brick in the 360° client service. To paraphrase our claim, I hope that the business voyage in which the law firm is the best partner will become even calmer and more secure thanks to the know-how I bring to the firm
-comments Kamila Mizeracka, leader of the Public Procurement Practice at BBS and Partners.
The team led by Kamila Mizeracka will be able to provide advice to, among others, public finance sector units, local governments, public prosecutor’s offices, universities, public cultural institutions, sector contracting authorities and contractors from all industries applying for public procurement contracts. The practice leader has also announced intensive activity to popularise the subject of the Public Procurement Law, starting with a series of online meetings during which she will be able to share her knowledge and industry news.
We have long been thinking about expanding our areas of expertise, particularly in the context of projects involving EU funds. This is where public procurement law is particularly applicable. The system of applying for public funds is a complex one, requiring above-standard knowledge of many areas of law, and some matters turn out to be too complicated even for specialists from entities handling grants. Kamila Mizeracka, as the co-author of a commentary to the Public Procurement Law and the author of the book "Public procurement below PLN 130,000", but above all as a solid practitioner who has been active in this area for many years, fits perfectly into our strategic and developmental needs.
