What have these schemes in common?
Two Stage tendering/procurement route
Factors in selecting a procurement route
• Risk• Programme certainty • Pricing level• Price certainty • Value for Money• Procurement guidelines/audit trail• EU procedures
What is wrong with single stage tendering?
• Dissatisfied clients ( refer Latham & Egan)• Adversarial stances by construction team• Project objectives lost• Lack of commitment by contractor team
until appointed• Appointment of sub-contractors too late• “Dutch auction” affects project quality• Division of design and construction teams
What are we trying to achieve?
• Customer satisfaction: deliver the project on time, budget and to the right quality
• Profitability for our companies• Referral for another project
The Two Stage Process
• Stage 1: selecting a contractor on a competitive basis to be part of the team at an early stage where he can make an input
• Stage 2: Negotiations to reach a fixed price and programme
Case Study
Riverside Swimming Centre, Norwich
Why did we choose Two Stage?
• We had to be sure we had a fixed price for Sport England Lottery bid
• We had to make sure we could deliver the programme
• We had to start on site quickly• We needed sub-contractor input
early to value engineer options
Stage 1• Scheme design/outline specification• Approximate quantities• Preliminaries• Contractor to price labour rates,
profit and overheads and preliminaries
• Assessment of quality issues: resources, team, method statement
Stage 2• Selection of preferred contractor• Price above budget• Planning consent achieved• Design at RIBA stage E• Detailed design development by all and
team problem solving• Design re-measured in stages and priced
in packages• Delivery of fixed price tender
