New ways to improve value are emerging in repairs and maintenance procurement - such as increased use of competitive dialogue, joint venture/subsidiary structures, performance-based contracts and innovative price models. But how do these ideas stand up to the risk of EU procurement challenge or failure to comply with Section 20 leaseholder consultation? Changes to EU regulations and emerging case law need to be taken into account - for example, automatic suspension provisions and the new remedy of ineffectiveness. Does the balance of power now rest with clients or bidders?
Meanwhile, price per property and other new pricing structures must not neglect leaseholder interests. Can administration be reduced and performance be incentivised within the requirements of Section 20, and how does this impact on joint procurement?
This session will examine current trends and recent case law to help you steer the right path.
