In the complex world of public procurement, construction contracting presents unique challenges, including evolving stakeholder expectations, regulatory compliance and talent shortages as contractors remain in high demand. These challenges are compounded by inflationary costs and frequent change orders. This webinar will delve into how Gordian aids procurement and construction project teams in transforming construction services to meet community commitments.

Additionally, the webinar will address the pressing need for public sector organizations to modernize their purchasing strategies.
