Efficacy of procurement managment in construction projects and property

Everyday clients are continuously seeking for better ways of delivering their projects. It has been outlined that before a client makes his choice, considerations should be given to; the nature of the client, the project scope, project objectives; time, cost, quality, complexity, management, risk transfer, accountability and the likelihood of variations.

A consideration of Baytree Leisure Plc intentions was made on the basis of these objectives. The traditional method, design and build, management contracting, and construction management forms of procurement were benchmarked against these objectives in order to find the most appropriate method for the Salteroyd project. It appeared that Construction management is the most appropriate for Phase I, design and build for the Phase I hotel and Traditional method for the Phase II. Although the client could go ahead to execute to the project only with the chosen procurement method, it was concluded that the procurement strategy that will take Baytree's development and expansion plans forward, will be to adopt partnering within the procurement methods chosen including a supply chain management strategy.
