It will address the more infrequently used procedures such as competitive dialogue, competitive procedure with negotiation, innovation partnership, procedures involving negotiation (for Title III/Service Concessions) as well as features such as modifications to contract post award, derogations from competition and handling complex clarifications.   It will also refer students to key jurisprudence which guides our understanding of some of the more difficult questions faced by procurement professionals.
