A group of four State Treasuries (NSW/QId/Vic and WA) consider it timely to measure the incremental value for money being achieved for taxpayers through the adoption of Alliancing and have sought the joint services of The University of Melbourne and Evans & Peck to undertake a detailed benchmarking study of Alliancing across Australia.
This study aims to measure whether Alliancing delivers incremental value for money (VfM) to Government (the taxpayer) against other procurement methods. It is important because it will provide a guide for industry to better understand the concept of value for money from the Government's perspective and under what circumstances Alliances are the preferred project implementation methodology.
Thank you for participating in Phase 1 of this important study. The following questionnaire will take you approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.
This Phase 1 questionnaire will involve investigating a broad range of public sector Alliances in Australia to establish:
• The forms of Alliancing being used in Australia;
• The perceived success of current Alliancing, based on reported project outcomes of time, cost, quality of work, functionality, safety, environment, community, other stakeholders, team dynamics, KRA achievement, and flexibility of approach;
• Key factors and contextual influences on projects; and
• An identified list of Alliances that are prepared to participate in Phase 2 of the study and on a confidential basis provide Alliance information and documentation for review.
At the end of this questionnaire, you will have the opportunity to give your contact details if you are prepared to participate in Phase 2 of the study. This phase will involve an in-depth investigation of Alliances through confidential interviews and providing access to Alliance documentation.
Phase 2 is anticipated to be completed in July 2009.
The study report is to be presented to the Departments of Treasury & Finance in August 2009.
