In July 2005, NAVCA (then NACVS) ran an event on
competitive tendering for local infrastructure services.
This provided an opportunity to draw the national lessons
from the crisis facing local infrastructure organisations in
Manchester. Documents from this event are provided as guidance to
organisations.
The presentations are available in pdf format. You will
need Adobe
Acrobat.
