Bid Protests

A bid protest is a legal challenge against the award of a government contract. When companies submit bids to win public contracts, they must follow specific rules. If a competing bidder believes that the award process was unfair, violating regulations or the terms of the bidding, they can file a protest. This process allows the challenging bidder to seek a review of the decision, potentially resulting in the re-evaluation of bids or a new procurement process. Bid protests help ensure fairness and transparency in public procurement, safeguarding against improper practices.
