Let’s work together. Procuring construction services in the public sector is a highly specialized practice requiring unique experience, knowledge, and skill. With contractors in demand, resources at a premium and timelines tight, now more than ever procurement professionals hold the master key to successful project delivery. NECI has developed this curriculum in collaboration with the BC
Construction Association and other industry stakeholders to specifically assist public owners in ensuring successful infrastructure project outcomes throughout their tendering processes.

This one-day, highly focused course reviews foundational best practises in procurement and highlights issues relevant to today’s unique construction market challenges.

• Evaluation strategies
• Industry templates and resources

Learning Objectives:

• Review public sector procurement obligations and processes
• Examine BC Government’s Capital Asset Management Framework construction as a best practise (and as required)
• Assess the risks and benefits of construction project delivery methods
• Explore collaboration strategies to enhance project success
• Practice identifying the most appropriate procurement process and project delivery method for typical public sector construction scenarios

The Public Owner Infrastructure Masterclass is for public sector employees at the local, regional, and provincial level who play a direct or indirect role in managing the procurement process for construction projects, regardless of experience level.
