It looks at how we must do things differently in our contract negotiation and development, while at the same time reminding us of the essentials that have not changed.
And it looks ahead - to 2022 and beyond - when we will have become more experienced at managing a COVID-Affected public health environment, and how that ‘new normal’ will impact the vendors, service suppliers and contractors we choose to partner with.
