Case study

The construction of The Habitat Research and Development Centre (HRDC) in Namibia was procured using a two-stage tender. The two bidders chosen after the first stage, and their Quantity Surveyors, drafted the Bill of Quantities (BOQ) that would be included in the second stage.

Openly sharing information during the time between the two stages of the tender allowed the experienced team to come up with sustainable materials and methods to include in the BOQ, all of which they based on available local resources.

Case study

In 2006, Scotland’s Forth Road Bridge showed in signs of significant deterioration. After a review, it was decided that a new bridge would be built next to the existing one. Due to the complexity of the project, Transport Scotland decided to engage with the market in order to gain knowledge and assess the procurement plan. This was done by organizing an Industry Day with top contractors, where a Questionnaire was distributed. Following this, bilateral conversations were established with suppliers to come up with the best possible plan. These activities shaped many aspects of the procurement procedure, including contract details and the employer’s requirements.
