3rd time lucky? EDF re-tender Hinkley

Posted by Claire Prince

I’ve just had this weeks copy of Building magazine land on my desk and noticed that (following my article last week, Crossrail: tender delays!) another company has made the headlines regarding their tender process.

Anyone who thought Fridays entry was relevant to them should take a look at the Building website article that highlights how EDF are re-tendering Hinkley for the 3rd time.

The source quoted in Building is quoted as saying: “If this is the level of change on the preliminary contract, what on earth is the main contract going to be like?”. Thus echoing the concerns that I raised on Friday.

It seems that tendering is currently a hot topic in the trade press. So what are your thoughts on the subject? I have always been led to believe that first impressions count; is this now a redundant way of thinking? I look forward to hearing your thoughts!!
