Procurement and Tendering of Upland Path Work (0.5 days – online)
About this course
Commissioning upland path work is unlike most construction procurement — the sites are remote, the specifications are unusual, and the pool of suitable contractors is small. This course gives people who commission path work the tools to write good tenders, evaluate bid fairly, and set projects up for success. It also gives an insight into what a good contractor expects to see. Includes input from a procurement specialist.
