Procurement & Tendering
ET&CO. provide Clients with specialist advice when developing the most appropriate procurement strategy to suit both the public and private sectors requirements.
It is essential that the most appropriate procurement and contract strategy is established and implemented from an early stage of the construction process. Private sector developments are influenced by factors such as design certainty and required completion dates. ET&CO. are well versed on all options from the more traditional procurement models to the more fast track solutions where design and construction can overlap.
In order to ensure transparency and fairness throughout the public tendering process, all public sector projects are required to comply with strict public procurement laws and procedures. ET&CO. have many years of experience that help guide our Clients through all these complex public procurement procedures, which in turn reduces the overall risk of challenges by unsuccessful bidders and provides better value for money to our Clients.

Value Management & Engineering
ET&CO. believe it is critical to any project’s success to establish what value is to the Client. The meaning of the word “value” can change depending on the Client’s construction needs.
In order to provide value to our Clients it is important to measure the cost against the function, quality and overall time to deliver the project. ET&CO. can provide value management and value engineering services.
We will work closely alongside the Client, the Design Team and any other stakeholders to establish a consensus from an early stage of what the Client perceives as value by conducting workshops with the team.
