Partner Debora Pāvila has brought two direct actions on behalf of the client Proof IT SIA before the General Court of the EU. Both cases concern procurement procedures by the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) for the award of IT services contracts. The actions seek annulment of EIGE’s decisions to reject the bids of VILGERTS’s client, as well as award of damages. It is claimed that the contract award criteria in both cases were imprecise, that EIGE committed manifest errors of assessment of the client’s bids, and also breached the principle of equal treatment.
