ABSTRACT
All contracting authorities are obliged to publish a range of formal notices in order to comply with general requirements for transparency and specific requirements under the directive/regulations and their own internal requirements and guidelines. The analysis of these notices is an important discipline in the pursuit of public opportunities and is complementary to the two-way communications discussed elsewhere. It must be assumed, however, that all parties pursuing these notices are also actively engaging in relationship building activities, as discussed in Chapter 9.
