UK	Challenging procurement decisions - steps to take and how to avoid the pitfalls Wednesday 21 May 2008
Bidding for public contracts is a time consuming and expensive process and whether the bid is successful can have a profound effect on a supplier's fortunes. Evaluation processes must be objective and transparent and every prospective supplier must be treated equally.   This afternoon seminar will examine the issues relevant to a public procurement challenge.  It will also include a review of the position in other European countries as well as the new Remedies Directive.
