3 Assessment Details
3.1 Module Learning Outcomes (MLOs) Assessed by
Coursework
1. MLO 1 - Establish a conceptual understanding of
procurement and supply chain strategies within
the built environment projects.
2. MLO 2 - Implement and critically evaluate appropriate
procurement processes by which
construction projects and services are acquired from internal
and/or external sources.

requirements to develop respective
procurement and supply chain strategies that enable project
success, business benefits and overall
sustainable operations.
4. MLO 4 - Embrace professionalism, demonstrate multi-
disciplinary skills and apply expert and
specialised knowledge in the field of construction project
management.
5. MLO 5 - Embrace intercultural cooperation through

ethical conduct in a reflexive way.

3.2 Coursework Overview
Context Statement:
The construction sector continues to face many project delivery
challenges such as time and cost
predictability. The need to identify and critically evaluate client
requirements to develop appropriate
procurement processes has never been more important for
project managers, clients and the industry at
large.
This assessment requires the submission of an individual piece
of coursework. It requires the production
of a procurement report that engages with the knowledge base
as well as the project and client-specific
characteristics.
It is to be written from the perspective of an inhouse
procurement specialist who is making a theoretically-
, and evidence-, informed project-delivery strategy report.
This task is worth 100% of the module and addresses all Module
Learning Outcomes.
3.3 Coursework Tasks to be Completed by Students
CLIENT PROJECT BRIEF

As part of Riverside Sunderland Masterplan, the Sunderland
City Council plans to build 1,000 homes to
rent and buy, with community facilities and social infrastructure
for a population of 2,500. The proposed
project seeks to create a unique place to live, i.e. a carbon-
neutral community in a stunning landscape
setting in the heart of a great industrial city. With an extensive
walking and cycling network and easy
access to public transport, Riverside Sunderland will encourage
healthy living and reduce car
dependency. Smart homes will be digitally enabled for comfort,
convenience and energy efficiency.
Community facilities will promote sociability and active
citizenship.
Following the recent entry of the insurance giant, Legal and
General, into the housing market, others are
keen to get involved too. In particular, Vitality Life has secured
(for the purposes of this task) a
collaboration with the Sunderland City Council, as the primary
funder, to deliver the vision for the
Riverside development project, specifically, the 1,000 homes.
The first 800 homes will be delivered in four new
neighbourhoods: Vaux, Farringdon Row, Ayre’s Quay

and Sheepfolds. As the new community takes shape other
opportunities will come forward, notably in the
Heart of the City. 45% of the new homes (367 units) will be
south of the river, at Vaux, Farringdon Row
and Ayre’s Quay, and 55% (445) north of the river, at
Sheepfolds.
The majority (72%) will be houses and maisonettes including
378 3/4-bedroom family houses. The
development will aim to achieve a relatively high density of
around 74 homes per hectare across the
whole site, with a limit of less than one car parking pace per
dwelling, due to the big push to reduce car
dependency and promote active travel.
Key Programme Features are described below:
1. standardised designs,
2. more accurate market intelligence,
3. providing jobs, training and supply-chain opportunities for
Sunderland residents and businesses,
4. reduced costs with an ambitious 15% target,

5. improved programme certainty,
6. reduced risk, and
7. greater innovation and improved relationships across the
supply chain.
Key Project features are described below:
1. Substantial cost savings,
2. Innovative, high-quality designs and sustainable standards,
3. Flexible use of space,
4. Tight construction programme with improved programme
certainty,
5. Collaborative working by integrated team, across Client and
Contractor teams,
6. Commitment to local economy, and
7. Improved employment and skills outputs.
The Council put forward its land assets in this partnership with
Vitality Life who will, in turn, provide the
finance for the £160 million development, with both parties
sharing equally in any development profit
where a development achieves a positive land value.

Although planning approval for the scheme has not yet been
granted, planners are confident that this will
be secured. Although the Council’s inhouse estates team has
technical construction expertise, they have
no capacity to design and project manage a scheme of this
magnitude. They are therefore now seeking to
procure the necessary expertise to move the project forward:
• Necessary consultants to assist in getting the project off the
ground by January 2022.
• Construction contractor(s) and such other specialists as are
necessary to carry out the various
elements of construction work.
• The council’s own inhouse estates team has some initial ideas
which they’re keen to explore with
the selected consultant designers.
• The client is undecided on whether to award the entire project
as one contract or to break it into the
four natural packages, according to the four new
neighbourhoods, namely: Vaux, Farringdon Row, Ayre’s
Quay and Sheepfolds.
• The client is also undecided as to what other key consultant it
needs to assist in the securing the

completed project in order to achieve completion by September
2023.
As the only one with procurement expertise within the Local
Authority’s inhouse estates Team, you have
been tasked to develop a report (refer to “Tasks to be completed
by students” for further details) to guide
the council in the procurement of the various works and
services required on this major redevelopment
project. The client is eager to use this project to improve the
image of the North East as well as to attract
investment to Sunderland.
TASKS TO BE COMPLETED BY STUDENTS
Based on the client project brief above, prepare a high level but
comprehensive procurement
report for the client, which:
1. Provides a ‘road map’ for the Local Authority, demonstrating
how you should procure each
of the works and services, how the client can ensure that the
scheme is completed within
budget and on time, how the client and funding partners wi ll be
involved at each stage of

the process, and other specific consultants and project
participants you propose they
should procure and their primary roles in the process. In the
submitted report, due
consideration should be given to:
a) Identifying the client and stakeholder needs based on this
brief and associated
documentation,
b) the most suitable procurement arrangement, bearing in mind
the variety of options,
c) the most suitable main standard form of contract to support
the overall strategy,
d) The most suitable tendering strategy for obtaining the most
economically
advantageous tender,
e) the mechanism for pricing and agreeing the price for the
project,
2. Provide a critical analysis of how the Sunderland City
Council and its development partners
might be able to achieve their broad aim of driving efficiencies

through the supply chain
and thereby save 15% of total construction and design costs.
Additional instructions to students:
Your report should be well presented, with a one-page executive
summary (no more than 250 words) at
the beginning of the report, followed by contents page, an
introduction, main body and overall
conclusion/recommendation(s) at the end of your report. All the
above should be submitted under a
suitable front cover, stating ONLY your student registration
number, assignment title, this module’s code
and tutor name. Your report must be well structured and
formatted including a contents page, page
numbers, suitable headings and sub-headings within the main
body, and a declaration of your word
count.
Please note there is a maximum file size limit (20MB) on
submissions to Turnitin and students must be
aware of this when preparing their report. Reports submitted by
the due date and time due to their file
size will be treated as late submissions.
3.4 Expected Size of Submission
▪ The upper maximum limit for this work is 4,000 words. This
word count includes:
▪ Any executive summary.

▪ The main body of text.
▪ In text citations [e.g. (Smith, 2011)].
▪ Direct quotations from primary or secondary source material.
▪ Title & Contents page.
▪ Words within tables, figures, and illustrations.
▪ Reference list.
▪ Bibliography (if also provided).
▪ Appendices.
▪ Glossary.
▪ Footnotes.
▪ Figures (diagrams, illustrations, photographs etc.) and tables
are welcome to support the text, but
must be fully incorporated into the submission, integrated and
following the text that fully explains
why they are exhibited. 200 words will be counted for each
separate figure/table used.
▪ The work must form a structured and coherent whole.
▪ A contents page is required, including a basic front sheet for
the submission, that identifies the
student number (not name), the total number of words used
(including references section), and
the number of figures/tables used.
▪ 'Footnotes'/’Endnotes’ will be permitted, as they can offer
sufficient value, providing, their use is
minimal, sufficiently concise, and appropriate - they offer only
'clarifying' information, or add
'adjacent' value to the sentences already written. In other words,
they are not to be used to 'hide'
words that would otherwise normally be expected to be
contained within the main body of the
text, and their use will be considered in accordance with the
University policy regarding word

limits.
