Constructing Excellence is working with the Cabinet Office to monitor and report on a number of trial projects that are testing three new procurement models (Cost Led Procurement; Integrated Project Insurance; Two Stage Open Book) that were proposed by industry, and developed by a joint task group. The three new procurement routes perform a central role in delivering the Government Construction Strategy’s sustainable 15-20% reduction in costs. The case study reports are an output of monitoring the progress and outcomes of the trial projects. Early findings from the government’s trial projects programme already indicate that smarter procurement focusing on earlier supply chain involvement is delivering 10-20% improvements in value for money. For more information, please see the individual case studies: Environment Agency: Rye Harbour (cost led procurement) ; Ministry of Justice: Cookham Wood Prison (two stage open book) ; Surrey County Council: Project Horizon: highways maintenance (two stage open book); Hackney / Haringey: SCMG: social housing refurbishment (two stage open book).
