Projects Contacts, Purchasing and Tenders

Over half of all outsourcing contracts and up to thirty per cent of other supplier contracts involve dispute: and the causes for dispute invariably go back to the detail of the tender and its associated contract and service level agreement.
This can affect the profitability, reputation, market share and image of the customer.

It is to present and discuss the Construction Tendering: Preparation, Submittal, Analysis and Award. Such projects involve much time and expense, and close management control of them is required if they are to be completed within the established time and cost limitations. Developed and discussed are management techniques directed toward the control of cost, time, resources, and project finance during the construction tendering. Effective management of a project requires a considerable background of general knowledge about the construction industry.

This course is designed for Managers, Coordinators, Supervisors, Engineers, Assistants, Officers and Administrators responsible for:
