Delivery and Contracting Strategies
Strategic advice on how a project or program is procured and contracted — decisions that shape cost, schedule, and risk outcomes as much as the design itself.
What’s included
- Procurement route evaluation and recommendation.
- Contract form selection and risk allocation advice.
- Market engagement strategy and tender process design.
- Contractor prequalification and selection framework.
- Contract negotiation strategy and support.
- Procurement programme aligned to design and delivery milestones.
How a project or program is procured and contracted has a profound influence on its ultimate cost, schedule, and risk outcomes — arguably as much influence as the technical design decisions that follow. We advise clients on delivery and contracting strategy: evaluating options such as design-bid-build, design-build, construction management, and other procurement routes, and the contract forms best suited to each, based on the program's specific risk profile, market conditions, and client priorities.
This is strategic advisory work at its most consequential, because a delivery strategy chosen without proper regard to a program's actual complexity, risk allocation needs, or market conditions can create structural problems that no amount of subsequent good project management can fully correct.
