About Alliance Contracting

What has changed in Alliance & Relationship Contracting Landscape?

The trend in procurement is towards more competitive pricing, the emergence of a higher volume of hybrid collaborative style projects and finally a closer scrutiny on value for money outcomes.

Owners are currently re-thinking the way that they put projects to market and certainly there is a focus on costs for solutions in light of tighter and capped budgets.

Resources that are procured need to demonstrate that they offer effective, efficient and economic solutions through an appropriate methodology. This reality has led to more negotiation on margins and, in particular, has impacted remaining participants in final stage selection processes.

In turn, non-owners are placing closer scrutiny (reviewing and checking processes) around client budgets. Commercial negotiation and auditing, as part of the selection process, are becoming more commonplace as a result.

Where does this leave you and your project? And – what’s next?

Outcomes can be financial or project specific and as part of the team responsible for the success of your project, you know it is essential that you deliver against both.
