Details

This guidance is part of New models of construction procurement, which aims to help public sector clients repeat the successes of the Government Construction Strategy: trial projects programme and achieve savings through working with their supply chain.

Applying the CLP process, a client can use their knowledge of costs to set a challenging cost ceiling and output specification against which the supply chain can bring experience and innovation to bear in a competitive framework environment. On frameworks with a series of similar capital projects, CLP provides the opportunity to continually improve on the unit costs of the programme, working collaboratively with the supply chain.
