  • Strategy, Trends & Experience IT in PRACTICE 2013
    Business Technology: Strategy, Trends & Experience IT IN PRACTICE 2013 ENSURE PROFITABILITY AND HANDLE PROJECT RISKS BY ESTABLISHING A CONTRACT & COMMERCIAL MANAGEMENT FUNCTION Most large businesses today are aware that their organisations need a contract and com- mercial management function to realise benefits and avoid non-performing projects. A business can implement such a function in the existing organisation or establish a new, independent organisational unit. Having a solid contract and commercial management process creates a support platform for a company’s ordinary financial, deliverables-related and legal reporting and processes, while also ensuring that new IT purchases and projects can be based on experience generally lost during the term of the contract. IT in practice last year documented a clear-cut connection between on the one hand a high level of maturity in benefit realisation and the ability to carry out organisational changes when new technology is introduced, and on the other the business-related bene- fits of IT investments. Contract and commercial management can help organisations to realise contract benefits, and, if none materialise, ensure that management is informed accordingly. A contract and commercial management function and process can provide a documented decision-making basis for management as well as a level of factual informa- tion otherwise impossible. The ad hoc involvement of assorted organisational units in the various phases of a contract cycle and performance can blur the objectivity of the reports submitted to management. Many enterprises have already realised the strategic importance of having the right gov- ernance and processes in place for the contractual and commercial matters related to their business areas.

  • Lean Commercial Management: Defining the Borders of the Discipline in the Construction Industry
    601 LEAN COMMERCIAL MANAGEMENT: DEFINING THE BORDERS OF THE DISCIPLINE IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY Daria Zimina1, Christine L. Pasquire2 ABSTRACT Commercial management is defined by the Institute of Commercial Management as ―the identification and development of business opportunities and the profitable management of projects and contracts, from inception to completion.‖ It addresses companies‘ internal and external relationships and thus plays an enormously important role in construction, which in essence is an inter-organisation industry. Construction projects require the contribution of multiple actors each of them representing a separate business entity with their own goals and incentives. Commercial management is the discipline that supports communication between all these individual bits. This inevitably puts it in a position to affect company profitability and long-term business success in a fast and dramatic way. Commercial management relates both to the policy of the company, or how it intends to deliver a project, plans its relationship with other organisations; and to operations (contracting, procurement, money flow and accounting), or how this policy is put in practice. In the developing lean construction industry good intentions are rarely supported by changes in the commercial operations. The projects are completed with lean principles but worked around habitual accounting, contracts and in many cases even procurement. Reliance on these commercial operations might hamper full exploration of lean benefits. This paper addresses the following questions: what is the relation between commercial management and project delivery? Is lean commercial management a necessary part of lean construction? If lean commercial management has to be implemented, what should it be like? The hypotheses tested in this paper suggests that (1) lean construction is a viable choice of commercial strategy (2) lean commercial management is an integral part of lean construction system subordinate to the project delivery.

The National Audit Office (NAO) scrutinises public spending for Parliament and is independent of government. The Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG), Sir Amyas Morse KCB, is an Officer of the House of Commons and leads the NAO. The C&AG certifies the accounts of all government departments and many other public sector bodies. He has statutory authority to examine and report to Parliament on whether departments and the bodies they fund have used their resources efficiently, effectively, and with economy. Our studies evaluate the value for money of public spending, nationally and locally. Our recommendations and reports on good practice help government improve public services, and our work led to audited savings of £1.21 billion in 2015.

  • Sustainable Procurement
    Sustainable Procurement Martin KENNARD, United Kingdom Key words: Sustainable Procurement, Supply Chain, Corporate Social Responsibility SUMMARY Sustainable Procurement is the process whereby economic development, social development and environmental protection are balanced against business needs. The benefits to your organisation in adopting a sustainable procurement policy will be to: - Control costs by adopting a wider approach to whole life costing. - Improve internal and external standards through Performance Assessments. - Comply with environmental and social legislation. - Manage risk and reputation. - Build a sustainable supply chain for the future. - Involve the local business community. Lack of understanding of sustainability within businesses, coupled with poor training and accountability are significant barriers to building supplier capacity. Project budgets supporting a business case built upon sustainable procurement must be split between the management of capital and revenue spending based on a plan that is environmentally friendly. Greater consideration must be given to bid evaluation criteria so that they support sustainable methods of construction. The age old fixation of lowest price must go in favour of a whole life solution. The public sector must lead by example. Ethical core values should be embedded in contractors’ policies and procedures. Transparency in such policies is vital to support the ability to demonstrate that the policies have been followed. These policies should include protection of the environment, protection against corruption, respect for people and a zero accident tolerance in health and safety issues. Bid lists should include small and micro businesses to create local supply chains. Suppliers that perform well must be developed and remain in the supply chain To succeed with sustainable procurement we need to ensure that there are drivers outside of the public sector and to encourage greater private sector and contractor/supplier driven initiatives.
