Competitive Dialogue or Competitive Procedure
If you have a suspicion that not every contract should be an open or restricted procedure, that perhaps there might be a better solution to a problem or that you might need a solution devised or invented then it’s time to learn what is possible.
With technology moving so quickly and your requirements for products and services changing year on year it’s difficult to embrace the future whilst trying to future-proof against developments.
Take a few hours and learn about these two key procedures.

These procedures can help you achieve better contracts, a cost-effective future and better market understanding.
