Product Code: TD/CES/PC&SP
The Procurement Guide reflects what is considered best practice today for Clients and Consulting Engineers – to appropriately invite and respond to calls for consulting engineering services and to deliver these services in a true value-added context which will ensure better lives of our communities. It incorporates the requirements of all applicable legislation including the Construction Sector Charter published in terms of Section 9 (1) of the BBBEE Act, 53 of 2003.The contents of this Guide focus on suggestions to Clients in requesting services and advice to Consulting Engineers in framing their responses to these requests. This has been done in order to better inform the procurement process. The 2013 Supplement to the Procurement Guideline for Consulting Engineering Services (the “2010 PCES Guide”) continues to reflect best practice today for clients and consulting engineers, namely to appropriately invite and respond to calls for consulting engineering services in a true value-added context.
