Abstract
Comprises guidance that aims to help central and local government bodies to work with the construction industry more effectively. Focuses on the two stage open book model in which a client invites prospective integrated teams to bid for a project based on their ability to deliver an outline brief and cost benchmark. Following the first stage competition, the appointed team works alongside the client to build up a proposal, the construction contract being awarded at the second stage. This differs from the cost-led procurement model in reducing industry bidding costs, enabling faster mobilisation and in providing the opportunity for clients to work earlier with a single integrated team.
