Dr Steven Brunning
Partner
Partner and head of public procurement
My role
I lead our expert and very experienced public procurement team. I advise on all aspects of public procurement law across our key sectors including strategy and design, advising clients throughout the procurement lifecycle and in relation to procurement challenges. I am a visiting lecturer on the Executive Programme in Public Procurement Law and Policy at the University of Nottingham, a member of the Procurement Lawyers Association and have completed a PhD in public procurement law. My academic research focus is on frameworks, other commercial tools and centralised purchasing with my work having been published in academic journals including the Public Procurement Law Review. I also advise on subsidy control and support clients on a range of projects and funding programmes.
My experience
I have extensive experience advising central and local government, the housing sector and the wider public and private sectors on public procurement, subsidy control and a range of commercial projects. Having spent many years in-house within a large local authority and a technology company prior to joining Anthony Collins, I am able to appreciate different stakeholder perspectives in complex projects and provide compliant, pragmatic and innovative solutions.
