Do it for the community that trusts you
Devon County Council plays a crucial role in ensuring that all contracts and procurement activities are legally compliant and deliver best value for the public. Our Contracts and Procurement Law team provides expert legal advice and guidance across the full spectrum of commercial arrangements, helping the Council achieve its objectives while maintaining transparency and accountability.
We support the drafting, negotiation, and review of contracts for goods, services, and works, ensuring compliance with procurement regulations and the Council’s governance framework. This includes advising on tendering processes, contract variations, dispute resolution, and risk management to safeguard public funds.
Our team also works closely with service areas to develop robust procurement strategies, manage supplier relationships, and ensure that contractual obligations are met. By embedding legal compliance and best practice into every stage of the procurement cycle, we help deliver high-quality services and long-term value for Devon’s communities.
