Improving the procurement of public construction projects has been the Holy Grail for as long as most can remember. Lack of trust and a lack of expertise amongst public sector clients, together with a long prevailing culture of taking the lowest price as the prime evidence of best value, are some of the reasons given over the years for public projects being delivered either late or over budget, or both; not entirely fit for purpose, or procured for an inflated price.

  • Construction Supplier Conference
    UNCLASSIFIED www.ogc.gov.uk Construction Supplier Conference BIS Conference Centre 1 Victoria Street, London, SW1H 0ET 08:45 – 13:15, Monday, 4 April 2011 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Government’s Plan for Growth March 2011 “Britain has to earn its way in the modern world. We have to become much more productive so we can be a leading high tech, highly skilled economy. We must build a new model of economic growth – where instead of borrowing from the rest of the world, we invest and we save and we export. Our economy must become more balanced.” “Construction will particularly benefit from: the radical changes to the planning system and publication of a rolling two year programme of projects where public sector funding has been agreed as well as a long-term forward view of infrastructure; reforms in the way government procures construction projects; and announcements on the regulatory requirements for zero carbon homes to apply from 2016.” UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Dear Delegate, First of all, I would like to thank you making the time to attend the third Efficiency and Reform Group Key Construction Suppliers Conference today. I am pleased to welcome both Board level representatives from key contractors, but also key public sector clients to provide an opportunity where both can air their views and have open discussions on how to meet the challenges set by Government. I am especially happy to welcome both Mark Prisk MP, the BIS Minister for Business and Enterprise, and Andrew Hudson from the Treasury, who will give us an outline of how the Government anticipates construction moving forward in the context of the Growth Paper issued alongside the Budget, and how the Budget itself will impact the contracting landscape.

    The JCT Povey Lecture Ambition in an Age of Austerity Paul Morrell 18 November 2010 Introduction On Thursday 18 November the JCT Povey Lecture was given by Paul Morrell, Chief Construction Adviser. His lecture, entitled ‘Ambition in an Age of Austerity’, was presented at the Bevin Hall, Local Government House, Smith Square, London. The JCT Povey Lecture is an annual event at which an eminent person is invited to give his/her thoughts on significant matters that are relevant to the construction and property industry. The JCT Povey Lecture was inaugurated in 2003 as a public acknowledgement and tribute to Philip Povey who served the Joint Contracts Tribunal for 50 years. Biographical Details Philip John Povey – Barrister – commenced in construction as a legal adviser to the NFBTE, later became the Construction Confederation, in 1951. At the same time he began to assist the Joint Secretaries of the Joint Contracts Tribunal (the JCT). Philip first became Director of Legal Services at the Confederation and then its Director General. He later became the first Secretary-General of the restructured Joint Contracts Tribunal Limited in 1998. Philip's work for the JCT became well known through the publication of JCT Standard Forms of Contract, which in time found their way to many parts of the world. He had a keen mind, which steered him around what he viewed as the less important or parochial issues for which the industry seems to have a particular attraction and enabled him to get to the core of a problem and to resolve it. He was an extremely skilful draftsman who invariably managed to satisfy the demands of many disparate, often competing, bodies.
