This document provides an overview of a course on procurement. It discusses that clients have varying objectives when procuring capital works. Understanding the client is important, as their priorities like time, cost and quality will influence the appropriate procurement strategy. While traditionally procurement focused solely on price, there is now a shift toward considering other factors to obtain best value. The course will help differentiate clients, compare procurement systems, and deduce strategies for different scenarios.
Lecture series on Civil Engineering - Indian Contract Act - its importance to...John Sushil Packiaraj
This is the second presentation in this series of lectures on Estimating and Costing of Civil Engineering Works. In this lecture, the Indian Contract Act will be explored. This act forms the basis for contracting in India.
The aspects of tenders and specifications is introduced in this lecture.
Every contract requires clear and detailed specifications and wordings of contract. When the wording of the contract are based on a poorly constructed tender document, the chance of the contract failing is large.
Managing and monitoring Engineering Contracts is an interesting challenge. The challenge is keeping all parties involved happy without affecting profitability. Knowing how to present a bid, maintain documents that uphold claims and effect a successful close out are the mark of a good project manager.
This lecture intends to demonstrate the same with practical examples to make the concepts come to life.

Sustainable Purchasing: Reimagining Principles and Practices for Mainstream A...Sustainable Brands
If done right, sustainable purchasing has the potential to reduce unwanted environmental and social impacts on a massive scale. At the same time, it comes with a world of complexity of its own.

This workshop walks through key principles of sustainable purchasing for anyone looking to stay up-to-date with current practices. It also introduces some of the main challenges and opportunities companies face in responding to and doing sustainable purchasing.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

How well do you understand ‘the client’?
Answer the following three questions
outlining why you say yes/no.
1. Are all clients trying to achieve the same
thing?
2. Are they all prepared to take the same risk?
3. Do they all have the same amount of
experience?

vs. mass production of products consumed at a
distance.
• Client initiatives drive construction project!!!
• Targets often set based upon expectations
drawn from own experience, however
unsuitable.

What is the difference between
Purchasing Vs Procurement?
• Purchasing implies a monetary transaction.
• Procurement is simply the responsibility for
acquiring the goods and services the
organization needs.
27. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
ACTIVITY (20 MIN) Working with your peers
Changing construction procurement for
the millennium.
(Reading by Smith, J., Love, P., & Jackson N.)
• Identify the key factors that have initiated
the need to change the way in which Client’s
procure projects.
28. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Why the move?....
• Traditional (low bid methods)
• The Owner is ‘blind’ to factors of experience,
capacity, personnel, political ties etc. of the
contractor.
• This can result in the selection of a less desirable
contractor.
• Always provides an arms-length separation
between the Owner and contractor selection.
• Secondary effect – bidders are forced to become
price-competitive.
29. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
… to the alternative?…
• A move toward Owner influence and
subjectivity in the procurement of
construction.
• Provides conditions in which the cost of the
work is secondary and therefore potentially
higher.
• Benefits to the Owner are numerous and are
best summarized with the term ‘best value /
best practice’.
30. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
… to the alternative?…
• All factors are considered – cost, quality,
experience, schedules etc.
• Owners are more likely to receive a product
that meets all of their objectives.
32. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
