Project procurement, the most complicated form of buying civil engineering work, goods, and services, is thoroughly addressed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBeyond the structured overview and comparative analysis of terminology and principles, the book describes such new concepts as single-source preference for simultaneous procurements, dual-term frame contract for parallel suppliers, and the use of semi-consolidated contract documents. Effective utilisation of theories boils down - among others - to a consistent set of procurement-related terms, proven methodology for drafting comprehensive solicitation documents and contracts, and practical details of communication with offerors. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Attila Kovács\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1461347319\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781461347316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 671\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.42d","brand":"Attila Kovács","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47930797261055,"sku":"9781461347316","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_04a6b62a-4be4-49af-858c-6f50c6369db2.jpg?v=1766344338","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/enhancing-procurement-practices-attila-kovzacs-9781461347316","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
