to approve the contracts, keep the project within budget, and
inspect the work.

cases (e.g. large capital projects where a range of solutions to
deliver are possible).

established at the start of the process) and organisations can
submit an expression of interest and fill in a pre qualification
questionnaire.
Successful bidders are invited to negotiate with the procuring
