Triple threat – how do you react?
Climate Change and Coronavirus have brought untold difficulties to many communities whilst Brexit could involve significant economic changes. Richard reviews how this has impacted many procurement processes and suggests that only a strategic approach to procurement will now ensure value for money, rather than advertising your requirements in hope… This session will also look at soft market engagement and how you allocate risks in your contract terms, particularly for unforeseen events, without scaring off the whole of the market.
