CMS
Client SatisfactionCMS scores points by combining procurement expertise with construction, IT and energy law competencies and is therefore ideally equipped to assist municipalities and cities as well as state and federal ministries and authorities with tenders and PPPs for infrastructure modernisation. In addition to advising on award and review proceedings in connection with the energy and transport transition, the team also assists with urban planning tenders and procurement for new clinic buildings. The team is further increasingly active in procurement compliance and advises bidders on self-cleaning, reporting and submission obligations. The team is jointly led by Christian Scherer, who assists with procurement in the construction and infrastructure sector, and Jakob Steiff, who focuses on procurement in the healthcare sector.
