Public Procurement Law: An Update
Tue 27 Apr 2021 1:45 PM - 5:00 PM BST
Online, Zoom
Description
This half day online Public Procurement Law Update conference will be streamed live, direct to your desktop so you can watch it from your office or home. The price for this is £210. This is a per organisation price, so up to 19 of your colleagues can participate at absolutely no extra charge, even if they are viewing it from a different location or at a different time. The whole conference will be recorded so you have a choice of watching it live or recorded, or a mixture of both.
This conference is a comprehensive half-day event for all those who need to keep up to date with the latest developments in public procurement law, including private practice lawyers, in-house lawyers, public sector lawyers and all others involved with public procurement contracts
We have gathered together some of the top experts in these complex areas, and between them they will cover the following topics::
- The Green Paper in a Nutshell
- Problems with Bid Evaluation
- Framework Agreements: top tips for how to use them efficiently and what to look out for
- Proportionality and Bechtel v HS2
- Social Value in Public Procurement
- Problems with contract modifications, including Covid
- Abnormally low tenders
- Public Procurements – what happens when things go wrong
This is streets ahead of an ordinary passive webinar experience with one or two speakers, which gets very tedious very quickly. We have 7 speakers. With this online conference, you will be able to participate with up to 19 colleagues at no extra cost - either live, or in segments (perhaps viewing it a session at a time over several days/weeks) or on an on-demand, recorded basis. You will be able to take part by video or audio from your office or home.
Also, if you are booking more than say 14 delegates, it is probably better to make two bookings of half the number of delegates each, starting with the paying delegate and then adding half the free delegates to that booking and then creating a new booking for the rest of the free delegates. The reason for this is that the booking platform time-out kicks in perhaps too quickly and you can loose all the information you inputted.

Rebecca Rees, Partner, Trowers and Hamlins
Michael Bowsher QC, Monckton Chambers
Fergus Randolph QC, Brick Court Chambers
Margaret Gray QC, Brick Court Chambers
Rhodri Williams QC, Henderson Chambers
