Compulsory competitive tendering is being extended from functional council services, such as refuse collection, into professional services. This book provides detailed guidance on how to tender for work in the following management areas: sports and leisure, theatres and arts facilities, libraries, parking, architecture, engineering, housing and property management, legal services, financial services, personnel, computer services, and corporate and administrative services. The first area to be affected will be legal services, and councils will be obliged to subject a third of their legal work to competitive tendering by October 1995. Ministers expect authorities to begin seeking tenders for the first services in summer 1994. This book is a practical, detailed and comprehensive guide to the system, its framework, legal requirements and documentation. Due to its looseleaf format, it will be able to react to changes and developments as they occur. Considering the perspective of both the local authority and the contractor, "Competitive Tendering for Professional Services" provides information needed to successfully negotiate the tendering process.
The book also covers all aspects of CCT for professional services including: advertising, preparation of contract, documentation, the selection procedure, awarding the contract, administering the contract and monitoring the contract. It provides coverage of the contractor role in the tendering process with particular emphasis on preparing to bid, also coverage of Trading Accounts, Direct Services Organisations and submitting the bid. The inter-relationships with the European Community Public Procurement Regime is also discussed.
