This document discusses different types of management-oriented procurement systems used to improve integration between design and construction. It describes construction management, management contracting, and design-build management options. Construction management involves owners engaging a construction manager to assist with bid documents and oversee construction, either as an advisor or constructor. Management contracting uses a management contractor to oversee trade contractors working on the project. Design-build management combines design and construction responsibilities under one entity.
Guide to Construction Procurement StrategiesSarah Fox
A guide to the three most common procurement strategies used on UK construction projects:
1. Traditional or general contracting
2. Design and build
3. Management based (covering management contracting, construction management and prime contracting).
Many construction professionals stick with what they know when choosing or recommending procurement, risk and contract strategies. However, making an informed choice can reduce the risk of conflict later. The comparison of the different strategies is partly based on Which Contract? By Cox, Clamp and Lupton.
This guide was developed by Sarah Fox, author of the 500-Word Contract. Using her 20 years' experience with construction projects, she gives you the confidence to use the right contracts for project success. The right contracts depend on the right procurement and risk strategies.

Contract management is the systematic process of creating, administering, and enforcing contracts between two or more parties. It ensures both parties fulfill their obligations as outlined in the agreement and minimizes potential risks.
This was a presentation delivered by Robert Langley, partner and head of the construction and engineering team at Muckle LLP, on Tuesday 7th October. The event was organised and hosted by the APM North East branch and was entitled 'Project contracts and how they support collaborative working'. It was held at the Radisson Blu hotel in Durham.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Management Orientated
Systems
Morledge & Smith 2013 describe them as a
separate classification but many consider
them as more complex variants of Separated
Systems
4. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Service offered by Manager
• Based on a fee
• Coordination
• Planning
• Controlling
• Managing design
• Managing construction
• Ensures contractor part of client team from outset
• Maximum construction experience fed into design.
5. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Used when…..
• Project is large & complex
• Fast-track procurement required
• Client wishes to select designer separately
• Often a result of a competition
• Work is not sufficiently designed prior to
construction
• Design and technology designed in tandem
6. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Used when…..
• Project is organisationally complex
• Flexibility is required throughout
• Less adversarial approach is preferred
• Choice of competitive tendering for each element
is preferred
• Target price rather than fixed lump sum accepted.
7. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Using Management
Orientated Systems to get
better integration between
design and construction
8. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Integration of Design &
Construction
Objectives can include:
• Need for contractor input into design phase:
• Build efficiency
• Incorporation of proprietary systems of
contractor or subcontractor
• Construction programming requirements effect
design
• Fast tracking requirements
• Coordination of the design outputs with
overlapping construction programme
10. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Management contracting
• A management contractor undertakes to perform the
works through trade contractors who are
contractually accountable to the management
contractor.
• Does not undertake the work themselves
• Strictly MANAGEMENT
• However, the management contractor is not strictly
liable for the consequences of any default by trade
contractors – as long as the management contractor
has complied with its management obligation
(generally a skill and care obligation) under the
management contract.
11. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
The Process
• C employs A/E to produce outline design
• MC companies can bid for work
• Best “overall submission” should win
• Fee, management, programme, track record etc.
• Winning contractor joins team
• Advises designers in completion of design, organises construction
in parallel by employing “works package contractors”
• Contractor appointed at early stage and works for a fee
• Fee can be a %
• Can incorporate a GMP
• Fee can be a bid
• Client pays COST of packages + fee on monthly basis
12. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
• Probity issues can be covered
• Sub-contractors normally appointed by an ‘open
book’ bid process
13. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Construction management
• Owners engage construction managers (CMs) to
assist in developing bid documents and overseeing
project construction.
• CM:
• Is a professional or a firm trained in the management of
construction processes.
• Is generally interposed between the owner and some or
all of the other participants.
14. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
There are two general types of
CM:
• Agency Construction Managers (ACM)
• Aka Construction Manager as Adviser (CMa)
• Construction managers-at-risk (CMr)
• Aka Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc)
15. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Construction Manager as
Adviser
• CMa acts as an agent of the owner and extends the
owner’s internal capabilities in performing
traditional owner responsibilities.
• The level of service by the CMa can range from on-
call advice to full project management.
16. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Construction Manager as
Adviser
• In some cases, the owner hires the CMa before
design begins and CMa may participate in the
selection of and contracting with the designer or
might even be the designer.
17. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Construction Manager as
Adviser
• O retains A and CM who acts as an independent
adviser to the owner.
• Prime contractor(s) responsible for construction,
labour and materials.
• CM gives O construction management advice
through design and construction phase.
• Increases expertise in managing a project from start to
finish.

19. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
What is Multi-prime CM?
• Several specialty contractors are engaged to do
specific portions of the work
• Each contractor has a direct contract with the
owner
• Breakdown of work may be by phase, by trade, or
both
• Each prime contractor may also have
subcontractors
• Work is managed for the owner by a CMa firm
20. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Construction Manager as
Constructor (CMc)/(CMr)
• Single party (Construction Manager) provides
construction management services in pre-
construction phase AND then completes
construction.
• Gives CM Constructor responsibility and control
over construction work via direct contracts with
sub-contractors.

22. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
CM(r) typically contracts with
the owner in two stages.
• First, CMr manages and undertakes services during
conceptual & preliminary design phases with the
design professional.
• When design is complete, owner and CMr then
agree on a price and schedule for the completion of
the construction work.
23. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey

CONTRACT TYPES
3910 - Conditions of contract for building and civil engineering
3916 - Conditions of contract for building and civil engineering – Design & Construct
3917 – Conditions of contract for building and civil engineering – Fixed Term
25. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
The Chosen procurement
arrangement dominates….
• How the project is performed
• Contractual duties of the parties concerned
• Terms and conditions of the contracts to be
executed
26. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Construction contracts
• A construction contract is a mutually legally
binding agreement that gives rights and
places obligations on both parties
• obligates the seller to provide specified products
or services,
• and obligates the buyer to pay for them.
27. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Client
• Rights:
• To receive the work specified at the time and for
the price specified.
• Obligations:
• To hand over the site
• To provide required information
• Not to impede the progress of the work
• To pay as agreed
28. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey

• To receive necessary information in good time
• To be paid as agreed
• Obligations
• To carry out the work as specified
• To take instructions from the client’s
representative
• To deliver at the agreed time
32. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Lump Sum
A price for the complete works by a given date
• Normally provides for progress payments
• May be adjustable for inflation
• Normally provides for client requested variations
• Can include provisional sums for work which has
not yet been specified in detail
• Normally provides for extensions of time for matters
outside of the control of the contractor strikes,
exceptionally inclement weather, discovery of heritage artefacts etc.
• Should provide for variations for client caused
delays and additional costs (otherwise contact is “at large”)
33. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Lump Sum (cont’d)
• Can be used in any situation where the
extent of the work is known:
• Separated construction contracts, normally at
end of construction drawings phase
• Novated design & build at end of concept or
developed design phase
• Design & Build at end of concept drawing phase
(or later)
Contracts for Architectural or Engineering services
34. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
A lump sum can be agreed:
1. through a tender process or
2. by negotiation
35. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Lump Sum
• They may also include incentives for meeting
or exceeding project objectives:
• Early opening
• Non- disruption of existing operations
• They may also include liquidated damages
provisions (not penalty clauses)
• Failure to complete on time
36. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Contracting risks
• Quantity takeoff
• Work missed and not included in estimate
• Subsurface conditions missed or improperly
evaluated
• Subcontractors only quoted partial scope of
work
37. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Unit Price
• Owner and Contractor agree on price to be
charged per unit for major elements.
• Owner or A/E provide estimated quantities for
project.
• No total final price.
• Overhead, profit, labour & material are all
included in unit price.
• Contractor is paid based on number of units
actually installed.
• Re-negotiate for rates if the quantity or work
considerably exceeds the initial target.
38. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Unit Price
• Prequalification important.
• Higher risk to owner.
• Ideal for work where quantities can not be
accurately established before construction
starts.
• Time and cost risk (shared)
• Owner: at risk for total quantities
• Contractor: at risk for fixed unit price.
39. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Measure and Value
• Prices for units of quantity of work are agreed
before the contract is signed (by bidding or
negotiation).
• Examples: $200 per m3 of concrete
$23 per m of 100 x 50mm timber framing
$135 each per door.
• As the work proceeds it is measured and the
contractor is paid according to the amount of
work done.
• Common in civil engineering projects (roads,
dams etc) .
• Unusual in building projects
41. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Cost-Plus Contracts
• Labour
• Materials
• Subcontractors
• On-site overheads
• Off-site overheads
• Profit
Payment based on actual costs
Can be on lump sum or cost plus
contracts
Lump sum or actual cost
Fixed fee or %
Distinguishing between these
can be an issue
42. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Cost-Plus Contracts
• Typically used where extent of work is not
known at the start
• Common in emergency situations
43. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Cost plus contracts with incentives
• Target cost: - painshare and gainshare
provisions whereby savings below and costs
above the target costs are shared between
client and contractor
• Guaranteed Maximum Price(GMP): - savings
below GMP are shared. Contractor pays all
costs above GMP (often used with design & build and
novated design and build contracts)
44. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Cost-Plus Contracts
• Aka “time and material” contract
• Owners agrees to pay contractor actual cost
to complete the Work PLUS and agreed-upon
fee
• Usually percentage of costs (10-15%)
• Owner beware…..
• What will be reimbursed and what is covered by
the fee.
• Used where scope of work is uncertain and
costs can easily become out of control.
• Often utilised in emergency situations.
45. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Cost-Plus
• Do not generally include GC HQ costs.
• Must be clear on what costs should be
considered when computing additional fees.
• Ie contract modifications; change orders could
consume the budget!
• Contract between GC and Subbie to specify
which costs are reimbursable.
• All field and project costs including labour,
materials, equipment, overheads, insurance,
bond premiums.
46. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Cost + Percentage of cost
(CPPC)
• Contractor is paid actual cost plus a % of the
total project costs.
• Fee = percentage of the total project cost
• Cost = $500 000;
• Fee = 2%
• Contract must clearly state what costs are
reimbursable.
47. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Cost + Fixed Fee (CPFF)
• Client agrees to reimburse contractor’s
actual costs, regardless of the amount, and
to pay negotiated fee that is unrelated to the
total cost of the project.
• Fee = percentage of the original estimated
total figure.
• Utilized on large multi-year projects.
• Estimated cost = $ 20 million
• Fee = 1% therefore fee equals $200,000
48. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Other variations
• Cost-Plus Fixed Fee with GMP
• Used when contractor is paid for the total
project cost plus a negotiated fee, but the total
does not exceed an agreed upon upper limit.
• Cost-Plus Fixed Fee with GMP and Bonus
• A bonus can be added to this compensation if
the project finishes below budget, ahead of
schedule etc.
• Cost-Plus Fixed Fee with agreement for
sharing any cost saving.
49. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Guaranteed Maximum Price
(GMP)
• An amount established in an agreement for a
project where the exact costs are not known
at the time of agreement.
• Same as Cost + Fee, but with a cap
• Contractor agrees not to exceed targeted costs
• Incentives are places in contract stating that
if costs come in below GMP, then Contractor
and Owner split savings.
• Contractor absorbs cost if above GMP.
50. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Cost + Fixed fee + profit
sharing clause
• Rewards contractors who minimise cost.
• Percentage of cost under GMP is considered
profit and shared with the contractor.
• Advantages:
• Provides incentives to the contractor to save money
• Disadvantages:
• Contractor must absorb any amount over the GMP.
• Detailed plans and specifications needed.
51. Procurement (CONS6817) Lara Tookey
Negotiated Contracts
• Priced as lump sum or cost-plus based on
complexity of the work items.
• Work items straightforward – lump sum
contract.
• Uncertainty associated with work – cost-plus
contract.
Editor's Notes
Ad – Provides owner with a competitive bid situation that allows for fair price to complete work; eliminates changes
Dis – Owner is placing huge faith in the A/E for correct estimated quantities.
