How does the NHS ensure that it obtains best value when procuring its construction needs? No doubt this will be a question that will increasingly concern the NHS should they be called upon to bear a share of the widely anticipated cuts in public spending.
Over the last 18 months, the NHS has sought to achieve best value through the application of Frameworks Scotland. HFS Frameworks Scotland operates on a design and build basis along with a target cost payment mechanism. Will HFS Frameworks Scotland always be the most appropriate way to procure the construction needs of the
NHS? Can local frameworks be used to procure projects for which Frameworks Scotland is not suitable? Burness, with the assistance of procurement specialists within the NHS and the private sector, will be offering answers to these questions.
Frameworks are no longer the only option for the NHS and a new era of the hub is now dawning. How will hub operate and how will it interact with national and local frameworks? Burness, as legal advisors to the hub South East Territory, is ideally placed to offer views of these important issues.

On the 14th March 2014 the House of Commons committee on public accounts report "Contracting out public services to the private sector" was published, and makes uncomfortable reading for those involved as suppliers or procurers. It might be tempting to say this is the reality of the difficulties of delivering public services, and it might instead be the case that procuring services through contracts performs with great variability across all sectors commercial and public.
A conference was hosted by the APM Value Management SIG that looked at those issues in the face, entertained the notion that the solution is in the hands of project teams, from either side, client or supplier/contractor, and sought to prove that case, with both theory and evidence!
The event included the following speakers:
John Heathcote, APM Value Management SIG Chair
Alan Munro (keynote speaker)
Paul Riley, Head of Capital Projects, Leeds Metropolitan University Estates & Contractor partners BAM
John Phillips, BAM Director
Professor Farzad Khosrowshahi, Head of the School of the Built Environment & Engineering

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.

Hubco by Participants
• Exclusivity under TPA exists for the first 10 years;
• Participants are required to give Hubco first opportunity to bring forward proposals
for Qualifying Projects;
• If Hubco fails to satisfy the Participant(s) requirements, then Participant(s) may
procure through other means (i.e. not use Hubco and go elsewhere)
• Approved Projects (where Hubco do satisfy requirements) will then be procured via
a contract between the Participant(s) and hubco/subhubco who will then subcontract
to the Supply Chain (envisaged to be the PSDP’s preferred contractors/designers
and FM providers).
28. TPA - Exclusivity cont..
• Exclusivity may be withdrawn if Hubco fail to meet track record
tests – linked to Key Performance Indicators;
• Significant performance failures can lead to termination of TPA;
• Exclusivity will be subject to variation by applicable EU/Competition
law!
• Participants of course have the option to request Hubco to procure
other projects not listed above, including FM delivery.
29. Territory Partnering Agreement
(TPA)
• Entered into among Hubco and the Participants (as individual entities);
• Sets out the rights and obligations including provision of “Partnering Services” by
Hubco to the Participants and “exclusivity” granted to Hubco by the Participants;
• Establishes a Territory Partnering Board (“TPB”) consisting of Participants and
Hubco to monitor performance of Hubco;
• TPA has a term of 20 years with an option to extend to a further 5 years with one or
more Participants – key driver is to realise benefits of partnering (continuous
improvement, economies of scale, added value etc) via long-term relationship;
30. On-going Partnering Services
• Hubco are to effectively deliver the Territory Development Plan (“TDP”)
demonstrating value for money;
• Build up long term relationships with Participants;
• Develop and take a lead in the Territory Partnering Board;
• Demonstrate value for money across delivery of services – demonstrate
continuous improvement and market test supply chain etc.
• Review and update TDP to ensure TDP is practical, deliverable, meets
needs of and is supported by Participants.
31. Project Development Partnering
Services
• Hubco prepare Stage 1 Submission for New Project – essentially an information
gathering exercise (site location, future flexibility of a site, design of facilities (stage
C), operational requirements etc);
• If a New Project receives Stage 1 approval from a Participant, Hubco then provides
Stage 2 Submission – more in-depth design (stage E), outline planning
requirements etc) hoping to achieve a Stage 2 approval and thereafter establish a
[subhubco] to enter into contract with Participant;
• Supply Chain Management – establish, manage and demonstrate value for money;
• Funding – Hubco to secure funding for New Projects if required;
32. Strategic Partnering Services

planning of community services across the SE Territory to help
identify opportunities to improve efficiency and cost effectiveness of
services and achieve sustainability aims and targets in the delivery
of community services.
