Alliance selection process

The survey data set provides a good representation of alliancing in Australia. Single TOC project alliances are the most widely used, comprising 54.30 percent of the respondents, as illustrated in Figure 4.

This was followed by a single TOC program alliance (26.1%), a multiple TOC program alliance (8.9%) and a multiple TOC project alliance (6.5%). There were also two projects in the "other" category (4.3%), comprising a service alliance, and a single TOC project alliance that started as fixed price and was converted to an alliance part way through.
