Procurement

Procurement teams today face increasing pressure to deliver complex projects efficiently, transparently, and in full compliance with regulatory and commercial requirements. Whether navigating multi‑party negotiations, complex technology arrangements, or safeguarding procurement integrity, organizations need legal advisors who understand not only the law but also the realities of procurement operations.

Our team supports procurement leaders by reducing risk, accelerating timelines, and ensuring defensible, market‑ready procurement strategies for major infrastructure, technology, and revenue‑generating initiatives. Goodmans assists clients with:

• Full‑Lifecycle Procurement Support. From early planning to RFx development, evaluations, negotiations, and final contracting, we provide practical guidance that helps teams run streamlined, defensible procurement processes for major projects.
• Sophisticated Public‑Private Structuring. We develop procurement and commercial frameworks that balance public‑sector objectives with private‑sector innovation and investment. Our work includes landmark initiatives such as acting for Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation in its Modernization of Land‑Based Gaming program and assisting the private sector participant in the Pan Am Athletes’ Village project.
• Dispute Prevention and Resolution. We help mitigate procurement risks before they escalate and manage bid challenges and complex, multi‑party disputes when they arise—preserving process integrity and project momentum.
• Financing and Revenue‑Generating Asset Expertise. Our team helps to structure financings for a variety of asset classes. We are known for designing innovative models that introduce private‑sector participation into government revenue‑generating assets.

Our clients benefit from experience that spans nationally significant projects, including Highway 407, Ontario’s Highway Service Centres, the Fredericton‑Moncton Toll Road, the Deh Cho Bridge, and multiple Toronto Waterfront Revitalization initiatives.
