Procurement for Contract Delivery
Introduction
In large and complex projects there are often instances where the lead client is contractually obliged to deliver certain requirements for another organisation, usually a funder. This applies to domestic retrofit projects that receive Government funding, which are contractually obliged by the funding organisation to deliver a series of different but related requirements, ranging from project reporting to capital works.
The term ‘procurement for contract delivery’ implies that, where the lead client is procuring goods and services from one or more external suppliers, they should consider how to share all the contract requirements. Taking a strategic approach to this at the outset of a project will help the lead client work with its supply chain to meet those obligations in a timely and effective way throughout the project’s lifecycle.
