CLOSE COLLABORATION IN CONTRACT DEFINITION

Abstract

The paper is the beginning of an attempt to develop dynamic guidance for in-house (Government and Government-supporting) people who are called upon to participate in such a close collaboration effort, in order to enhance their contribution to the proceedings and to help them assure that their conduct cannot be criticized. It provides such guidance by highlighting certain substantive issues which seem to arise during a close collaboration effort and suggesting an approach to such issues. In doing so, it also suggests certain administrative arrangements which can be made to help ease the difficulty of meeting the seemingly conflicting close collaboration requirements of providing adequate guidance to contractors at the same time as assuring a 'fully competitive environment.'
