Project procurement, the most complicated form of buying civil engineering work, goods, and services, is thoroughly addressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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 \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461347316\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461347316\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4419-8947-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 671\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44317532356748,"sku":"9781461347316","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461347316_56cc5868-0609-4a51-b387-a34c76882556.jpg?v=1755009621","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461347316","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
