How to Demystify Procurement and Contracts Without Losing Your Sanity

Picture this: You’re juggling multiple projects when a complex procurement process lands on your desk. Do you have the time to decipher it? Or imagine spending weeks on a tender submission, only to lose out because of a tiny oversight you didn’t even know existed. Worse still, a contract lands in your inbox, filled with legal jargon that makes your head spin—are you signing up for success or a nightmare?

Sound familiar? It’s not your fault. Architects today are expected to master procurement and contracts while delivering groundbreaking designs and running a practice. The rules keep changing, project requirements grow more complicated, and no one ever teaches you this stuff in architecture school.

But it doesn’t stop there. You might find yourself losing amazing opportunities because you didn’t know how to navigate an OJEU notice. Or perhaps you’re stuck in a frustrating framework agreement that feels like it’s working against you. And let’s not even talk about the sleepless nights worrying you’ve chosen the wrong procurement method for a high-stakes project.
