Introduction to Public Procurement |
An Introduction to Public Procurement will look at the procurement routes available, from low-value contracts to high-value OJEU procurement exercises. The session explains the regulations that govern public sector procurement activity and which set out the various procurement procedures, and the requirement for suppliers to understand the essential elements that need to be considered when bidding for tenders. |
Pre-Qualifying for Tenders |
All OJEU procurement begins with the selection stage, whether as a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) in the selective procedures or as the first stage in the open procedure. The new EU Public Procurement Directive, which is currently being transposed into national legislation, will change many elements of current responses and require augmented information from suppliers. It is critical that you understand the changes that are coming as failure to respond in the correct manner will see you excluded. |
Preparing Perfect Tenders |
This event explains the key issues around drafting a successful tender submission and identifies the essential elements that are needed to gain an advantage when presenting tender responses. With the impending transposition of the new EU Public Procurement Directive into national legislation, even currently successful contractors will need to change their approach if they wish to ensure continued success. The new Regulations will instill a more transparent yet more regulated approach, not only at pre-qualification, but also at the tender stage. |
