Introduction

Contracting today demands a highly-skilled and professional approach. This holds true for design, construction, manufacturing and management service contracts in support of major projects where the technical complexities and commercial risks call for special expertise to create and control appropriate contractual relationships.

The adoption of the right contract strategy to fit the circumstances has a vital role in ensuring the success of the project. Deciding who is best suited to conduct the various parts of the work, and negotiating appropriate contract terms and conditions are important elements of that strategy.

This course is designed to teach the practical techniques and skills involved in contract tendering and awarding which are important contracting processes.

Objectives

The aim of the course is to provide comprehensive instruction on key issues which public and private sector contracting authorities and contractors need to focus their attention, from early planning to contract tendering and awarding under the applicable Civil Law.

The issues considered in the planning stage include the definition of objectives, analysis of risks and likely costs, possible contract structures and types of pricing, technical and financial evaluation of potential contractors, invitations to tender, important contract terms and conditions, preparation and submission of bids, evaluation of bids, and contract negotiation and award.
