SBDC Webinar: Government Contracting & Bid Protests: Back to Basics | PTAC / MANARR
November 18, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
Price: FREE
Examine the nuts and bolts of competitive bidding, how to deal with bid protests, and common pitfalls.
Government contractors should understand procurement and contract execution from start to finishâhow competitive bidding laws are structured, common bidding issues, protests, contract performance, claims and termination. Contracting with the government comes with risks and rewards. Local, state and federal governments each apply different contracting rules, but the underlying concepts are similar.
In this webinar, members of Manattâs government and regulatory practice will examine the nuts and bolts of competitive bidding, the different types of competitive bidding, how to deal with bid protests, and common pitfalls after contract award.
The program will be followed by a brief Q&A session.
Webinar Topics Include:
- Common types of procurements
- How competitive bidding worksâwhen it applies and exceptions to competitive bidding
- Ramifications of violating competitive bidding rules in local contracts
- Bid protest procedures and bidder rights absent protest procedures
- How to prepare and litigate a bid protest or defend against a bid protest as the winning bidder
- Contract claims
- Contract terminations
