There is a plethora of selection guidelines on the use of the alliance delivery method that are inconsistent, confusing, do not reflect current practice and are not focussed on optimising VfM. Given a robust construction market it is possible that the primary competition is occurring on the buyer (Owner) side as they seek to attract NOPs to their own project using the alliance delivery method and non-price criteria, both of which are highly favoured by NOPs over traditional delivery methods.
A consistent approach across jurisdictions would improve the procurement selection strategy and buying power, and ensure consistency in government engagement with industry.
