This workshop will provide a main contractor’s perspective on good and bad procurement in the area of repairs and maintenance.
It will look at the context of partnering and explore how the procurement route and tender documents can impact – positively and negatively – on the service to residents. It will provoke consideration of:
What attracts contractors to bid for some contracts and not others?
What puts contractors off?
What can impact adversely on the price?
What does an ‘intelligent client’ look like?
What role does the Schedule of Rates play in delivering VFM?
How can the SOR be used as an essential stepping stone to alternative pricing and payment models?
