Play your part in improving public sector construction delivery. Come to our workshop, share your feedback and help determine exactly what best practice and procurement looks like. We want your views and we want to use what you tell us to make a difference.
‘No Turning Back’ was a ground-breaking publication that gained the support of Welsh Government and industry with its clear recommendations for how Welsh Public Sector construction needed to change. But that was five years ago – has our industry moved on? How has construction in the Public Sector fared against the recommendations set out in October 2010? What have we learned?
There is no doubt the ‘No Turning Back’ report created momentum and its recommendations established a strong platform for improvement. Indeed, a great deal of the momentum and foundation for change has stemmed from the support and leadership of Jane Hutt AM, Minister for Finance and Government Business. Some commentators have suggested that significant progress has been made, pointing to the Welsh Government’s Procurement Strategy, SQuID, the Forward Programme of Work and the creation of a Community Benefits Toolkit. But the only way to find out for sure is to ask the industry directly. That is why we have commissioned this follow-up report – and we want to discuss its findings with you and provoke a debate in an open and honest Q&A session. You might be one of the many stakeholders we surveyed, or you may have taken part in an in-depth interview to help find out what the industry really thinks of public sector procurement and delivery in Wales today.
So, just what progress has been made? Have practices become more collaborative? How far have procurement and payment processes been standardised? Has value superseded lowest price as the winning criterion in project bids? And, do you agree with our findings and recommendations?
