For this assignment, you are required to produce a critically referenced research report that responds to the following question:
Critically evaluate the tendering techniques used in a specific country and assess how project managers manage the commercial and contractual dimensions of large, complex projects within that context. Important:
To support your critical evaluation, you are strongly encouraged to focus on a specific project within a relevant industry in your chosen country.
This will allow you to apply theoretical knowledge and demonstrate a clear understanding of context-specific practices. The country of focus must be clearly identified on the cover page and introduced at the beginning of the report.
Your report should be presented in a professional format and include the following sections:
• Cover Page (must include your full name, student ID, module code, module title, and country of focus)
• Introduction (outline the purpose of the report, the country and industry/case study chosen, and the structure of your analysis) • Main Body (organised with clear headings and subheadings)
