THE B&ES 10 POINT CLIENT CHECKLIST – FOR SUSTAINABLE PROCUREMENT
B&ES has drawn up a 10-Point Checklist to help procurement managers at local authorities and other public sector organisations make sure the contractors they choose for building services work are up to the job.23 April 2013 – In times of restricted budgets clients are under pressure to save money and the temptation is to opt for the lowest price quote tendered.
