BAA radically overhauls procurement procedures

摘要

Airport operator BAA's procurement procedures were overhauled last week in a bid to cut costs, with major projects being put out to tender rather than awarded through its framework of contractors.rnUnder the new system, projects of more than $40M will be procured through open tender, projects worth between $16M and $40M will be bid for by framework members and projects less than $16M in value will be allocated to framework contractors according tornBAA's criteria. "BAA is looking to introduce a more efficient, fairer way of doing things," said a spokesman.
