WHAT CONTRACTORS NEED TO KNOW NOW!!!

Cost:$225.00

A lot of change is taking place in Government contracts. Everyone is very surprised about the rapid changes taking place in our industry.

A strong possibility exists that many government contracts will be terminated for convenience of the Government.

What can you expect during the T4C process if this takes happens to your contract???

What can I do in anticipation of the change?

What are your rights?

Did the contracting officer performs the termination in bad faith or through an abuse of discretion. Contracting officers may abuse their discretion as a matter of law when they fail to exercise independent business judgment in terminating a contract.

What costs can I recover? We'll have a labor lawyer at the training to answer your questions.

Come to our March 13th training event and we may not reduce your anxiety, but we'll help you to be prepared and how to react in the event it happens to you or your company.

Two former senior contracting officials with over 30 years of experience will help you to understand the T for C process and what to expect and how to react if this happens.

Many contractors are unaware of the costs that can be recovered. We'll go through that process with you.

Some of the overall themes of this training include:

Understand Terminations for Convenience

What the FAR Says

Contracting Officer Duties and Procedures

Contractor Duties and responsbilities

Understanding Recovery Costs

Contracting Officer Best Practices

Knowing Your Counterpart

Contractor Tips

We'll also have an open roundtable for contractors to ask questions and concerns.

It is a challenging time and this training is to help contractors become educated regarding the T for C process during these challenging times.
