Training Course in Legal Risk Management for Tenders and Procurement Contracts (Online / Remote)
1Summary
A tender process only works if every bidder is playing by the same legal rules, which is why procurement and bidding sit at the centre of how any economy actually functions. This training course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy gives legal professionals advanced experience in the legal rules and regulations governing tenders, auctions and bidding procedures.
As business, official legal authorities and organizational structures have evolved, and as the volume of transactions keeps growing, the need to regulate procurement and bidding has become urgent, so that neither employer nor contractor breaches agreed terms. A wide range of legislation now governs the contractual and bidding rights and duties of both sides. Contracting agreements typically pass through a pilot phase, used to verify a contractor's capabilities and the integrity of the work environment, followed by a confirmation phase.
