Procurement and Contracts for Ports and Dredging Projects Masterclass

12 November 2013 - 14 November 2013
Manila, Phillippines

Program Overview

Port management & dredging teams often have to procure port construction, maintenance & capital dredging works. Contract drafters must appreciate these uncertainties when selecting contract-type and properly allocating the risks and opportunities between parties. Tender evaluators should check the feasibility of budgets and programs in relation to likely dredging equipment, by developing budget and schedule shadow estimates and allowing for the risk of uncertainties. Employers & Project Owners & Contractors need to be equipped with strategies and knowledge to ensure their procurement & contracts framework is robust and that they are able to closely monitor execution progress to ensure projects come in on time and within budget.

Port development and dredging projects tend to be complex and require high quality standards. Procurement for port development and dredging projects starts with a call for competitive bids guided by recognised tendering procedures. The aim of such a procurement effort is to arrive at a cost-effective contract for implementing a dredging project. Ideally a contract should be of the best value price but can you ensure this?

How do you design procurement strategies for ports & dredging projects? How do you formulate contracts for the procurement of services? How do you set the cost parameters for your dredging project? What are effective tendering strategies? How do you effective draft, administer and manage complex port and dredging contracts whilst managing disputes if they do happen? All these and more will be covered at the comprehensive, case study driven and practical Procurement & Contracts Management for Ports & Dredging Masterclass happening 13-16 January 2026 in Singapore!
