Wise words

The sectet with D&B is to get as much information in the tender as a conventional tender, if only in written form. Then any change by the contractor has to be aurthorised by the project manager - if they can understand the implication.

D&B is often sold on the basis of reducing the construction period, using reduced tender documentation. The rest of the job is spent arguing over the interpretation of the 'performance specification'. The MOD defence procurement complex near Bristol was a classic, by hey - it was only taxpayers money.
