Abstract

Comprises guidance that aims to help central and local government bodies to work with the construction industry more effectively. Focuses on the cost led procurement model in which a client can use their knowledge of costs to set a challenging cost ceiling and output specification against which the supply chain can bring experience and innovation to bear in a competitive framework environment. On frameworks with a series of similar capital projects, CLP provides the opportunity to continually improve on the unit costs of the programme, working collaboratively with the supply chain.
