Client Award Template
Peter Rauch
CLIENT AWARD TEMPLATE
Peter Rauch, Switzerland
Swiss Association of Consulting Engineers | www.usic.ch
Swiss Association of Consulting Engineers (usic)
Client Award
Procurement of engineering services
Basic idea: A client award for good procurement practices
2010 - usic launches its first client award (Best Practice Award, BPA) for
good procurements of engineering and planning services by public
clients
4 general objectives
collect good procurements policies
develop a widely accepted „Best Practice“
improve the image of the national association and its member firms
improve lobbying activities with public clients
31 | September 2013
BPA concept 2010 - 2013
Past guidelines
only public clients
jury of 7 persons (4 engineers / 2 public clients / 1 politician)
assessment criteria:
– assessment of the procurement procedure
– assessment of the overall project
Past awards
2010: 11 participants
2012: 7 participants
32 | September 2013
BPA experiences 2010 - 2013
Positive
detection and illustration of good procurement methods and examples
new contacts between usic and representatives of public authorities
positive feedback from public clients (especially from the winner side)
positive PR-effect (at least to our own member firms)
Negative
clients must be convinced to participate hard work
low number of participants
evaluation of proposals is time-demanding and difficult
frustration on the side of the not-winning-participants
33 | September 2013
Modified concept
Client Rating: “Top 10 out of 100 clients”
Partnership for sustainable solutions
general evaluation of clients instead of specific projects
ongoing evaluation on a annual basis
rated through all member firms of our association and not through a specific jury
rating on basis of a predefined questionnaire; data collection through an annual online-
based survey
evaluating all aspects of client´s interaction with engineers (procurement, contract,
negotiations etc.) publication of the annual rating at a press conference
From project-based to a general rating-based system
34 | September 2013
Concept 2014: Opportunities and difficulties
Opportunities
no need to search for specific projects
standardized process leads to a simple, transparent and credible evaluation
less evaluation effort needed
the client rating is easy to understand and to communicate
the rating as an incentive for clients to improve their business practices
Difficulties
objectivity of the questionnaire
completeness of the questionnaire
35 | September 2013
Concept 2014: Next steps
October / November 2013: Development of the detailed concept
December 2013: Approval by the usic steering committee
2014: realization of the first rating according to the new concept
36 | September 2013
Questions to FIDIC and MA
Do have any experience with such kind of award/rating? – Please share
it with us.
Do you think that such kind of award/rating could be useful in your
country? – Yes / No
Should FIDIC prepare a guideline for MAs to establish such
award/rating? – Yes / No
Any other comments?
