Pre-Symposium Seminar: Lessons Learned from Unexpected Procurement Problems
| Date: | Jun 14, 2023 - Jun 14, 2023 | |
| Time: | 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM (PDT) | |
| Location: | Inn at Laurel Point: Victoria BC |
Description:
Through small group work and class discussion, attendees will explore how procurement decisions and unforeseen events can put an owner in a difficult position of deciding between equally risky options. Focusing mostly on the solicitation process, the workshop will explore how these situations can occur and will delve into what the Canadian Courts decided in similar cases. Attendees will come away with appreciating the nuances of procurement decisions, and with new ideas for proactively avoiding getting into these situations themselves.
Topics covered include:
- Relying on professional consultants’ procurement advice
- Shifting dates when “time is of the essence”
- Bias when an incumbent contractor bids
- Tempting out-of-scope offers
- Impacts of intellectual property rights
