How can suppliers and governments build better contracting relationships?

The purpose of this survey, in partnership with University College London, is to investigate how governments make decisions about tendering for and managing contracts and how suppliers make decisions about bidding for and delivering government contracts.

The survey uses brief case-study scenarios to investigate how the public and private sectors develop productive working relationships and how those relationships vary across different geographic locations and industries.
