Collaborative working and partnering between the public and private
sectors has been fairly standard practice in some form or other for
over 100 years, but it is only in recent years that it has become
more prevalent. In the UK, it is little more than 10 years since
the most widely known Public Private Partnership, the Private
Finance Initiative, was launched and yet it has already been
described by some as 'the new economic paradigm'. PFI has now
become the preferred method of procurement for many UK Government
agencies such as the NHS building programme, whereas other bodies
oppose the introduction of the private sector into the provision of
traditional public sector services. Although the use of PPPs is the
most controversial procurement strategy now used by the UK
government, it currently accounts for approximately 11 per cent of
government expenditure and there is no doubt that it is here to
stay.
The ability to successfully procure built assets is at the heart of
the construction process and in turn at the heart of the
procurement process is identifying the constantly evolving needs of
the construction client.
Despite client criticism and a mountain of reports and statistics,
spanning both the public and private sectors, until now the
construction industry has failed to transform the diverse and often
separate and inefficient processes of design and procurement of
built assets into one single integrated production process. There
are now signs however that the construction industry is beginning
to transform its approach to built asset procurement and client
care.
This book draws heavily on the experiences and best practice of
other industries and market sectors who have, just as construction
is now having to do, taken a critical look at their procurement
practices and techniques and the inherent waste in many traditional
systems. The text includes practice-based case studies, from both
the public and private sectors, to demonstrate how new procurement
approaches are delivering value for money over the life cycle of
built assets.
This book is recommended reading for a range of students in the
field of the built environment from quantity surveyors and
commercial managers to architects and an essential and
comprehensive guide to all construction procurement professionals
seeking to familiarise themselves with the latest approaches to
procurement.
*Procurement based on the needs of the client.
*Different procurement systems evaluated.
*Worldwide case studies.

The second edition of the Construction Project Manager's Pocket
Book maintains its coverage of a broad range of project management
skills, from technical expertise to leadership, negotiation, team
building and communication. However, this new edition has been
updated to include: revisions to the CDM regulations, changes to
the standard forms of contract and other documentation used by the
project manager, the impact of BIM and emerging technologies,
implications of Brexit on EU public procurement, other new
procurement trends, and ethics and the project manager.
Construction project management activities are tackled in the order
they occur on real projects, with reference made to the RIBA Plan
of Work throughout. This is the ideal concise reference which no
project manager, construction manager, architect or quantity
surveyor should be without.
