Bass, Berry & Sims invites you to join us on June 9, 2015 as we sponsor a Tennessee Bar Association seminar, titled “Government Contracting in Tennessee: How State, Local and Federal Issues Impact Tennessee’s Procurement Environment.”
In this unique program, state and local officials, procuring agencies, protest litigants, consultants and legal leaders will cover several angles of government contracting in Tennessee. Two panels will cover the process of state and local government contracting and will provide insight to the Tennessee bid protest process. Other sessions include updates from the 2015 Tennessee legislative session on procurement issues and discussion of federal contracting issues impacting Tennessee businesses.
