"If all of the recommendations are adopted the actual outturn cost of alliance projects could...be improved by 5-15% without diminishing the many benefits that the alliance delivery method is capable of providing."
The six policy recommendations below address how VfM can be enhanced in the alliance delivery method.
These recommendations are neither complex nor onerous, nor do they compromise the efficacy of a government's procurement process. The recommendations take into account a whole of government perspective from national through state to agency level, setting out the principles for action that can be adopted regardless of a state's particular circumstances, policies or procedures. The recommendations will provide enhanced VfM if they are implemented individually, but will realise additional VfM if implemented in their entirety due to their potential synergies.
If all of the recommendations below are adopted the actual outturn cost of alliance projects could, in the judgement of the Research Team, be improved by 5-15% without diminishing the many benefits that the alliance delivery method is capable of providing.
