New Construction Policy Note (CPN) 1/2021
March 24, 2021 by Fiona McCaig No Comments | Category Construction, Construction Policy Notes, Scottish Procurement
We have published a new construction policy note.
CPN 1/2021 reminds public sector clients of their responsibilities in handling abnormally low tenders, as set out in Chapter 8 of the construction procurement handbook of the Client Guide to Construction Projects.
The policy note highlights the importance of bidders putting in realistic and sustainable bids and of clients ensuring that only those bids that represent the best value in terms of whole life cycle and project delivery are accepted.
