About this book

Early Contractor Involvement: Improving the management of contract risk explains how to structure and administer a process of early contractor involvement within a two-stage tender process. It provides clear practical guidance on the range of factors that need to be considered to achieve the benefits of early contractor involvement (ECI) which includes improved design, pricing and risk management. Drawing on a range of case studies and the authors' first-hand experience, the book gives much-needed practical insight into the optimal use of ECI as a procurement approach.

Coverage in the book includes

  • benefits of the ECI process and key steps to ensure the benefits are realised
