Procurement strategy
is essential to ensure risk is apportioned to meet the
planned objectives of the contracting parties. Harris Consulting’s
expertise adds value and benefits to our client organisations
in the following important areas:
- Ascertaining commercial viability of projects
- Determining
responsibilities of contracting parties
- Choice of appropriate
contract terms and conditions (Amending terms and conditions
to suit contractual arrangements, where necessary)
- Appointment
of professional team
- Appointment of construction team
- Tendering procedures
- Project management and cost control
procedures
- Review of additional cost conditions and grounds
for contractual claims
We identify and define areas of potential risk and liability,
which if neglected may result in loss of commercial viability.
The identification and appraisal of such risks enables us
to determine and implement reasoned strategies to safeguard
our clients’ contractual and commercial interests.
We fully support the principles of “Partnering” and “Strategic
Alliancing” espoused by Sir Michael Latham in his government
led report on the construction industry (“Constructing
the Team” – 1994) and Sir John Egan in his report
(“Rethinking Construction” – 1998).
