PAWA Consulting blog: Tender Evaluation and moderation
http://pawablog.blogspot.com/2015/07/tender-evaluation-and-moderation.html
Thursday, 16 July 2015. Tender Evaluation and moderation. Stephen Ashcroft of AECOM, and Spend Matters. Have highlighted a recent case between Bristol Missing Link (BMLL) and Bristol City Council. They have fuller details but in short BMLL are the incumbents and have challenged the award of a contract to a new supplier after a tender process. The decision was close, and the court has suspended the implementation of the contract. Until a full hearing of the challenge. Firstly, the (external) chair of the ...

PAWA Consulting blog: June 2015
http://pawablog.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 30 June 2015. Tunisia - an act of economic sabotage as well as murder. Another off topic post - it seems to be a week for it. I had a holiday in Tunisia a couple of years ago. Two families with young children had a great time in Monastir - down the coast from Sousse where the terrorist attack happened. It is shocking to think of such terrible things happening to holiday makers, particularly on a Friday during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. It will be interesting to see. Links to this post.

PAWA Consulting blog: Further Public Contracts Regulations 2015 courses
http://pawablog.blogspot.com/2015/06/further-public-contracts-regulations.html
Friday, 19 June 2015. Further Public Contracts Regulations 2015 courses. My colleagues at BIP Solutions have got just a few more courses to run before we have a bit of a break for the summer. The Autumn is pretty packed for me both in the UK and overseas, so I am reasonably pleased that we have a time to regroup before then . We shall be tweaking the courses as we become clearer about the new PCR2015, and what people want to know about it. New Public Contracts Regulations. PAWA Consulting Ltd. specia...

PAWA Consulting blog: March 2015
http://pawablog.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Friday, 20 March 2015. Negotiation in the Public sector. Negotiation is one of the key skills in business, but it has been mostly excluded from EU public procurement - until now. The new regulations move negotiation from a "only if you have to" route to a potential alternative to a standard restricted tender. The intention is clearly to try and get some better value, and to shake things up a bit in the bidding process. Or that they will try them and be burned? Or will there just be lots of questions?

Friday, 21 August 2015. KPIs in Education and Sport. It is exam result time, and as every year we have a strange situation. Every year pass rates go up. And (almost) every year this is seen as a sign of failure. If the pass rate has gone up, then the standards must have gone done. Politicians of course also have their own agendas - usually how rubbish their predecessors were and how brilliant they have been. The spin again often has little basis in objective reality (I note that this year the governm...

PAWA Consulting blog: Plastic Bags and recycling
http://pawablog.blogspot.com/2015/06/plastic-bags-and-recycling.html
Monday, 29 June 2015. Plastic Bags and recycling. I used to work in the plastics industry, so here is a rather different type of blog post. I got a link to an article on Spotichemi. Getting rid of plastic bags may make you feel better - but does it really achieve anything of note, apart making people feel better about themselves as they load their paper bagged groceries into their 4x4? Feel free to disagree. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Bradford, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom. Return from the USA.
