520 |a This practical guide focuses on the ability of long-term strategic supply-side partnering to convert the traditionally high level of unnecessary costs into better and more sustained profits for all involved. It also explains how clients need to use partnering to ensure best value from their precurement process and sets out a selecion process for partnering. Written in an accessible style it explains why supply-side partnering makes good commercial sense and shows how to put the long-term strategic partnerships in place in each sector (consultants, construction contractors, specialist contractors, sub-contractors and manufacturers). This is a 'how to' book written in terms everyone can understand, without the need for an expert interpreter or costly training.
