ABSTRACT

First published in 1984. This work is designed to provide for those who often face having to set up engineering contracts a comprehensive text-book and source of ready reference, by the aid of which they may handle the competitive tendering process without doubt or difficulty. Each step is described in chronological sequence, with comment on the common pitfalls. Comprehensive check-lists are included with a detailed alphabetical index to enable a subject to be readily located. As a text-book it aims to be equally of value to engineers and to others who have recently changed from pure technology to new responsibilities with a more commercial, contractual or managerial flavour.
