NBS Guide to Tendering

This much-needed short guide replaces the withdrawn NJCC codes of procedure. It sets down a procedure for managing tenders for construction work based on up-to-date legislation. In an industry tainted by accusations of corruption, getting it right is in everyone's interest. Failure on this front exposes the client to poor quality, leads to disputes and erodes professionalism. In extreme cases, it can lead to criminal prosecutions and trouble with your professional registration. Written in a plain-English style, it explains the transparent procedures that will allow you to avoid problems down the line. Based on the Public Contracts Regulations, it incorporates guidance from the market-leading NBS Building software and includes a worked example. Relevant to all projects and aimed at clients, architects, surveyors, designers, engineers, project managers, this important new guide will allow you to adopt the key values of fairness, clarity, simplicity and accountability. It also aligns with the principles of sustainable development which require the fair, ethical and transparent treatment of suppliers and the supply chain.
