CCT - comparing the old plans with the new ones

By: Language: English Series: Municipal Journal ; (47) 20-26 November 1992, 14-15(2)Publication details: 1992Subject(s): Summary: Discusses recent government amendments to the original proposals outlined in "Competing for Quality". In terms of construction-related services, the original `double-envelope` system whereby councils set a quality threshold and then select the lowest bid is to be dropped. This leaves local authorities to demonstrate that they have their own procedures for fair and even-handed evaluation of tenders on the grounds of quality as well as price.
