The UK Government’s recent review of framework contracts – Constructing the Gold Standard - An Independent Review of Public Sector Construction Frameworks – provides important insights on how ‘strategic collaboration contracts’ could be used by the Australian construction sector to continuously improve construction outcomes, including by breaking the cycle of lost learning, reducing the sector’s excessive reliance on competitive tendering and leveraging the prospect of further work to attract increased supplier commitments to productivity enhancing investments.
This report explains how the learnings from the UK can be adapted and applied to the Australian context.
