Fergus Harradence joins us to talk about the Construction Playbook which sets out the Government’s new approach to procuring and contracting for construction work.
The Construction Playbook aims to:
- Reset the relationship with the construction sector to make this more strategic and less transactional
- Increase the speed of end-to-end project and programme delivery and contribute to Project Speed
- Embed delivering best value at the heart of government procurement of construction
- Drive innovation and the adoption of Modern Methods of Construction – including product platforms with standardised designs, components and interfaces
- Create longer term, sustainable, effective, and fairer contracting arrangements
