Infrastructure & Transport
The energy transition is currently driving dynamic developments in the Infrastructure & Transport sector, ranging from the expansion of e-mobility and the promotion of public transport to investments in rail and road. Public procurement plays a key role in this context. We advise in preparation of a bid, during participation in the tender process and on all questions regarding contracting. Companies operating in the transport sector face ever increasing regulatory requirements. The Infrastructure & Transport sector is part of the so-called Critical Infrastructures, which renders non-EU investments more complex and triggers reporting obligations to the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, the disregard of which can result in fines and criminal penalties.
