Frequently asked questions
The most common questions about procurement processes and my services.
General
Which procurement frameworks do you cover?
I provide support on public tenders under Laws No. 4734 and 4735, World Bank-financed projects, European Union-funded projects (PRAG) and exempt / out-of-scope procurement.
A tender deadline is running. How can I get support quickly?
WhatsApp is the fastest way. If you use the request form, select "deadline running" and give the deadline date; these requests are prioritised.
Which regions do you serve?
I work with clients across Türkiye. Training can be delivered in-house or online.
Does an expert opinion replace legal advice?
No. My work consists of technical assessments, expert opinions and expert reports on procurement practice; it does not constitute legal advice.

Yes. Correspondence with the Bank and the EU, reports and documents can be prepared in English. My English CV is available on the About page.
Turkish Public Procurement Law
How much time do I have to file a complaint?
[DOĞRULANACAK] Deadlines for complaints and appeals depend on the nature of the decision and the date you became aware of it. If a deadline is running, please get in touch without delay via WhatsApp or by selecting "deadline running" in the request form.

The duration depends on the size of the procurement and the number of stages. A work plan suited to your needs is proposed at the first meeting.
