The review of the performance of the public works contracts was published in December 2014. Arising out of that review, a series of interim amendments are being implemented which will amend the current conditions of contract used to deliver public works projects.
The Government Contracts Committee for Construction (GCCC) is hosting a series of information sessions on the amended forms of public works contracts which are due to be published in July.
The sessions will include an overview of the objectives that underpin the public works contracts, a summary of the review process itself, the rationale behind the interim amendments and detailed descriptions of the amended conditions of contract. The sessions will also provide an opportunity to put questions to representatives of the GCCC on the conditions of contract and other aspects covered by the Capital Works Management Framework.
The venues and dates are as follows:
| 1. Carlow Institute of Technology | Monday | 15 June 2015 |
| 2. Sligo Institute of Technology | Thursday | 18 June 2015 |

| 5. Trinity College Dublin | Friday | 26 June 2015 |
| 6. Trinity College Dublin | Monday | 29 June 2015 |
Each date will consist of a morning and afternoon session. The morning session, from 10.00am to 1.00pm, is for public sector officials directly involved in the delivery of public works contracts either in contract administration or contract management. The afternoon session, from 2.00pm to 5.00pm, is primarily for contractors and consultants.
The Information Sessions are free of charge but places are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Admission will only be possible with a booking confirmation that will be issued by email.
