PRESENTER:
Ráž, Holubkovič (HAVEL & PARTNERS)
A practical guide to drafting public works contracts, based on 15 years of experience of leading HAVEL & PARTNERS experts. Topics include tender documentation and step-by-step contract construction, including subsequent contract amendments (multiple works). We also address the consideration of the impact of COVID-19 and crisis measures on contractual relations, as well as addressing the acute growth of construction costs in the market. We will therefore address both the issues of what is and is not “force majeure” in practice and how to deal with the delays and multi-costs associated with “coronavirus”, as well as the various options available to contractually prepare for all of this.
SEMINAR CONTENT:
- the tender documentation, its binding nature and the construction of the entire public contract
- the benefits of pre-market consultations
