IChemE What Engineers need to know about contracts online from 22nd June 2026

 

I am running our usual What Engineers Need to Know about Contracts course online from 22nd June.

The course this time around is 3 afternoons in one week (22nd/24th/26th June 2026).

Slightly unusual but leaves lots of time for real work in the week.

We have a good number of delegates already  but the advantage of being on line is we can squeeze a few more in.  Not too many mind, otherwise there is no room for discussion.

If you are interested, full details are herehttps://www.icheme.org/training-events/training/courses-a-z/what-engineers-need-to-know-about-contracts/from-22-june-2026-online-bst/

The course is available face to face in-company over 2 days as well.  But this is the last scheduled online running this year (unless you all suddenly demand more.  Please feel free!)

Hope to see you there.

If you are interested, ask yourself this question.... How many contracts have I personally interacted with today?  And do I understand any of them?

(my legal friends can stand down from answering that).

West Berks Council Meet the Buyer 25th June 2026

 I am delighted to be giving a short presentation at the West Berks Council Meet the Buyer event at Shaw House 25th June 2026.

I say short because I don't want to put you off.  There will be ample time to meet real buyers.

All sorts of interesting topics.  I shall be talking about SMEs in public procurement, and there also demonstrations of In-Tend, a question and answer panel, a discussion of frameworks and adult social care (including the use of AI, interestingly).

If you are interested, the full details are here.  It is free, so all you are committing is your time.

Hope to see you there.
