CITB is looking for proposals from:<\/p>\n
- \n
- levy-registered employers seeking to improve project performance<\/li>\n
- federations and\/or trade associations<\/li>\n
- construction clients or procurement framework leaders who want to support supply partners<\/li>\n
- training providers or consultancies working in construction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Steve Radley, CITB Director of Strategy and Policy, said: \u201cWhile other sectors have seen increases in productivity in recent decades, construction has lagged behind with weak approaches to procurement playing a key role.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to explore new and more collaborative ways of working that can improve supply chain relationships within procured projects, meaning more housing and infrastructure delivered on time and on budget to the benefit of clients and the construction industry alike.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alasdair Reisner, Chief Executive of the Civil Engineering Contractors Association, said: \u201cOur members are seeing significant changes in the way that the sector\u2019s customers are engaging their suppliers, moving away from old transactional approaches to create a whole new business model for the sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cLeading clients are looking to work in long-term relationships that are focussed on delivering outstanding outcomes for users, while harnessing new technologies to build more productively.<\/p>\n
“Industry needs to harness this new productivity, and we hope that this procurement commission can play a part in securing this\u201d.<\/p>\n
