TC Young Solictors

Procurement for RSLs

Thursday 9th September 2010

-the framework within which you must operate - an introduction

At TC Young, we are receiving an ever greater number of queries from clients regarding procurement of contracts for works, services and supplies both below and above the thresholds laid down in the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. This introductory course aims to provide practical advice to RSLs in relation to procurement of various types of contracts, with reference to case studies.  We will provide an overview of the legal framework within which RSLs operate, as well as updating attendees on recent developments in procurement law, answering questions such as: "when is a works contract a supply contract?", "what procurement processes apply to contracts below the relevant threshold in terms of the Regulations?" and "what are the consequences of a failure to comply?".  This session will be the first in a series of events looking at procurement issues for RSLs.

Who should attend?

This session is aimed at any staff dealing with the day to day challenges of procuring works, services and supply contracts on behalf of an RSL.
