Where is Procurement Going? Future Trends and Challenges for the Industry 2024 | FIDIC - International Federation of Consulting Engineers | 13 February 2024 | Webinar

This webinar, will look at the all-important area of procurement, exploring the latest developments and trends and looking at how procurement should evolve - and is indeed evolving - to deliver better and more sustainable infrastructure projects.

Against a background of challenging global events and a somewhat uncertain economic backdrop, procurement is often placed in the spotlight as governments, funders and clients seek to get more for less and deliver much-needed infrastructure development to boost their economies. This means increasing risks but also potential opportunities for those involved in delivering engineering and construction projects.

Issues to be discussed at the webinar include the following:

• What are the latest developments in the industry?
• Issues around pricing, technical, sustainability, quality and qualifications.
• How do consultants ‘defend’ their position in a changing market?
• The different approaches around the world – what are key the trends?
• Role of key funders and clients.
• Legal frameworks.
• ESG and sustainability impact.
• Role of FIDIC contracts in influencing good procurement.
