Tendering for council work in a funding-constrained environment
Online - March 19, 2024 at 12:00pm - 1pm
About
Auckland Council acknowledges it is not without issues. However ultimately, the major issue is funding.
Mayor Wayne Brown's manifesto for Auckland calls for better use of ratepayers' money, and the council’s long-term plan looks to include details of what Auckland Council plans to achieve in the next ten years and how it will be funded. There is a focus on upgrade and renewals of core assets, long-term infrastructure resilience and sustainability.
How should consultants tendering for council work operate under this funding-restrained environment?
Join Auckland Council's Fleur Aldridge, Principal Solicitor for Construction and Infrastructure Projects and Transactions, for a discussion on:
- What does good engagement look like?
- What do the mayor’s manifesto and the long-term plan mean for the consultant market?
- How can consultants approach things differently when dealing with clients?
Although Auckland-centric, this presentation is relevant to all consultants providing services in a funding-restrained environment.
There will be an opportunity to ask questions.
