Construction procurement strategy is a combination of the delivery management strategy, contracting arrangements and procurement arrangements for a particular procurement. It necessitates that a number of choices be made from the available options. A construction procurement strategy can be developed for a single project, a programme of projects or a portfolio of projects to identify the best way of achieving objectives and value for money, whilst taking into account risks and constraints. This practice note outlines a methodology to develop construction procurement strategies at a portfolio, programme or project level.
The gateway review process outlined in this practice note is designed to provide independent guidance on how best to ensure that projects and packages are successfully delivered.
