Congratulations to the members of our Litigation Department – partners Lior Mimon and Atalia Shitrit, attorneys Yedidya Ashur, Dorin Rotenshtrich and Itay Mizrahi, and intern Shahar Goldblatt – for successfully representing the National Insurance Institute in a case of broad public significance.

The Supreme Court dismissed six appeals filed against the National Insurance Institute’s tender for long-term care services, thereby upholding the judgment of the District Court.

The tender, which concerns approximately 400,000 eligible individuals and is valued at approximately NIS 1.1 billion per month, is among the most significant public procurement processes in Israel’s healthcare and welfare system.

The appeals raised a wide range of challenges, including the tender’s publication process, eligibility requirements, quality evaluation criteria, pricing methodology, and allegations of discrimination between new and incumbent providers. All arguments were rejected.

The Court held that the tender was based on reliable data, a professional methodology, and the support of external experts.

We are proud to have represented the National Insurance Institute in this important and high-impact matter.
