Making the right decision when awarding a significant contract is crucial to any government procurement project – it ensures delivery of the best possible solution as well as value for money on public spending.

But when the wrong decision is made, you risk legal challenges, hefty costs and major delays to your project delivery – risking the entire outcome of your government project.

But reaching the right decision isn’t always easy. You’ll face challenges such as managing multiple stakeholders and their conflicting priorities, demonstrating value for money, and addressing social value, sustainability and ethical factors. All within tight budgets and timelines and with increasing pressure to show a robust, transparent decision-making process.
