Profile

Helle Lorentsen Bøgeskov is a specialist in procurement and construction law.

She provides legal advice to utilities, infrastructure companies and public authorities on all matters relating to the tendering and execution stages – often in relation to calls for tenders for large-scale construction or renovation projects in a broad range of utility areas and in the social housing sector.

Helle has extensive experience in providing strategic advice on the drafting of tenders and execution of the tender process from start to finish, as well as the preparation and negotiation of contracts and framework agreements. She also provides advice on the rules governing the duty of local authorities to invite tenders for waste suitable for incineration.

References

Helle has long-standing experience in providing advice on tendering and construction law in a number of utility areas, particularly in the fields of district heating, water supply and treatment (drinking water and waste water) and waste incineration, as well as generation and distribution of natural gas and power.

In 2024, Helle assisted the Copenhagen Metro and Copenhagen Light Rail in preparing their ’second generation’ social clauses.

Also in 2024, Helle – in her capacity as legal sub-adviser to NIRAS – provided the legal background analysis that now forms the basis of the Danish Utility Regulator’s guidelines on competition-promoting initiatives and new rules on competitive tendering for incinerable waste (Act no 745 of 13 June 2013). Against this backdrop, Helle has advised several local authorities and municipal incineration plants on how to organise calls for tender in compliance with the new rules.

Helle speaks the Scandinavian languages, English and German.
