The challenges and opportunities within public procurement are endless for public procurement officials, vendors, consultants, and their advisors. This year, the public procurement landscape is bombarded with changes and developments in EUFTA negotiations and inter-provincial agreements, liability clauses in procurement documentation, CITT decisions, litigation and insurance risk assessments, IT procurement, among others.
