Understanding the OJEU Proforma £195 (ex VAT)
Understanding the OJEU Proforma is a Half Day event
The UK Public Contracts Regulations 2015 fundamentally changed the way procurement works.
The old days of posting a notice to the OJEU and then putting together the selection documentation and the tender specification are over.
Now buyers must have all of the documentation ready before the OJEU notice goes out.
The OJEU forms cannot just be typed as “just the same as the last notice”.
With changes to the procedures, timescales, selection and award criteria, scoring regimes and life cycle costing not to mention the very real risk of Contract Modification – all of these issuesneed to be considered before publishing.
- 22 forms in total
- New Mandatory fields
- 3 different ways to use the PIN notice
If you complete OJEU forms, even as a task within a wider administration role this is an essential course.
If you don’t get your OJEU proformas right first time, you cannot put an addendum out. You cannot add variants for innovation. You absolutely must issue the minimum requirements.
- You cannot make it up as you complete them
