LHC<\/a>\u2019s head of technical procurement Dean Fazackerley assesses whether the sector has gotten better at collaborative procurement since the release of the Constructing the Gold Standard \u2013 the independent review of public sector construction frameworks<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Collaboration is a term we regularly use when discussing ideal procurement practice, but with so many different parties to consider, it can be difficult to get right. Almost one year on from the release of the Constructing the Gold Standard<\/a> report much has been done, but there is much yet to do.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret it\u2019s been a dizzying 12 months for procurement departments, with the government\u2019s Transforming Public Procurement consultation response at the end of 2021 and the Collaborative Procurement for Design and Construction to Support Building Safety guidance in January of this year. The Procurement Bill, currently at the committee stage in Parliament, is also due to come into force in 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The high-profile procurement has brought a gear shift in awareness of the importance of collaboration across both frameworks and projects from the outset<\/a>. But public sector organisations, contractors and suppliers are also increasingly asking what it means to get it right in practice.<\/p>\n

At its best, \u2018good\u2019 collaboration looks like framework-wide joint management, an even spread of risk and a clear objective setting from the start. It also puts in place ways to flag early warnings, resolve issues and disputes early, and involves engaging up and down the supply chain at the earliest possible stage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

A positive byproduct of good collaboration should be more accurate construction timescales, increased use of low-carbon materials, innovative approaches and delivering social value benefits that aren\u2019t arbitrary numbers or calculations.<\/p>\n

With all parties included, it can also be hard to triangulate input properly to keep all sides happy. But this is vital to prevent the good done from getting lost in the Bermuda Triangle of collaboration \u2013 a phrase Professor David Mosey coined in the Constructing the Gold Standard report.<\/p>\n

Constructing the Gold Standard<\/h3>\n

Constructing the Gold Standard does not call for box-ticking. It requires clients and the whole supply chain to be involved in shaping the framework strategy, procurement approach and contract management.<\/p>\n

Long-term frameworks are a solution to a lack of collaboration because they align objectives, targets, incentives and success measures for everyone. They also make improved value and reduced risk a combined effort.<\/p>\n

Frameworks that deliver on the benefits they promote also adopt the principle of strategic alliancing, which bakes collaboration into early supply chain engagement, contracts and construction itself.<\/p>\n

To achieve this, clients play a pivotal role. Whether through a programme of new build construction or the refurbishment and maintenance of existing portfolios, a long-term and collaborative approach is crucial.<\/p>\n

A guide for building collaborative procurement<\/h3>\n

When looking to build collaboration into the very heart of a procurement exercise, there are some guiding principles to get right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Information: Research from the procurement team and discussion with the framework provider, as well as sourcing good practice examples, contractual details and results from early supply chain engagement, should all be used to develop specific objectives and generate more accurate cost estimations and timescales. This should also inform the development of the right assessment questions and criteria to promote collaboration, supporting clients to get the right contractor\/s for their project or programme.<\/p>\n

Integration: Achieved through a standard form of contract, this will enable consistent framework procurement that also creates a direct contractual link up and down the supply chain. Framework alliancing contracts also promote better sustainability outcomes because in working together, clients, contractors and suppliers can more easily look holistically at how to reduce carbon emissions and energy use, manage waste and promote employment and training opportunities. LHC uses the standard framework alliancing contract FAC-1, recommended within 2020\u2019s Construction Playbook and now used across the UK in more than \u00a390bn worth of public sector procurement programmes.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Incentivisation: Rather than referring to financial incentives, this applies to the promise of early dispute resolution and a guarantee of further work based on good outcomes and evidence of framework collaboration. To achieve this, framework providers and public sector organisations must provide proper support to manage the framework effectively across the supply chain. This might look like early meetings to jointly negotiate and resolve issues before expensive disputes arise via adjudication. Here, the Gold Standard also recommends a \u201ccore group\u201d is put together to ensure unanimous decisions at the early warning stage of a dispute.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
