Forthcoming NAVCA events

Competitive tendering for local infrastructure services

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.
