Welcome to the Project 13 Network

Calling all Suppliers: Complete the Project 13 Supplier Survey 2023

Is awareness of Project 13 growing across suppliers? Are the opportunities to be involved in a Project 13 Enterprise increasing? Are there any benefits to being in an Enterprise compared to a traditional model? These are some of the questions that we are trying to answer with the Project 13 Supplier Survey which suppliers can complete here: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/2023P13Supplier One of the outcomes the Project 13 global industry-change movement hopes to achieve is making the industry more sustainable overall, which includes ensuring that suppliers have more sustainable relationships. To measure this, the Project 13 Supplier Engagement Community has agreed to carry out an annual survey. This is the second year – the results of the first survey can be found here (you will need to be registered on the Project 13 Network to access it): https://www.project13.info/library/resources/project-13-in-2022-supplier-community-report-r61/ We would appreciate your support with completing the survey, if you are a supplier, or raising awareness with your supplier ecosystem.

Project 13 Supplier Survey Results 2022: Are we helping create a more sustainable industry?

The Project 13 Supplier Community exists to support businesses that are looking to get involved in Enterprise delivery models promoted by Project 13. To support this, the Project 13 Supplier Forum has run workshops and meetings, allowing discussion and sharing of good practice. The Forum has also committed to develop an annual report on experience of Project 13 from a supplier’s perspective. The aim is to use the survey as a way to measure if Project 13 is helping to make the industry more sustainable from a supplier's perspective. The findings of the first survey, carried out last autumn, make for positive reading. They show that most respondents were aware of the Project 13 Principles, even if they were not yet involved in an Enterprise. Two thirds of those who were involved in Enterprises said that they would be very likely to speak positively of their experience. Respondents said that they welcome the alignment, collaboration, shared vision and focus on whole life outcomes promoted by Project 13. The model was also deemed to have been more resilient to recent shocks such as Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine.

Project 13 Capable Owner Event: Collaboration for Innovation

Project 13 Collaboration for Innovation: The case of Wolsingham Sewage Treatment Works REGISTER HERE to join us at our Project 13 Capable Owner online event on 28th March 2023 9am - 10:30am GMT In our third event of the Capable Owner pillar group webinar series, we show how collaboration in line with Project 13 principles enables innovation by the ecosystem. This webinar will build on learning from our first 2 events: What does it mean to be a Capable Owner? and Changing the Capability Mix, by centering around the case study of the Wolsingham, Co. Durham Sewage Treatment Works.   The Wolsingham, Co. Durham Sewage Treatment Works required significant upgrade to continue to meet customer needs. The principal partners, Northumbrian Water, Tilbury Douglas, and Wood Group, worked in the context of a 5+5 framework agreement to achieve nearly 70% off-site construction, complemented by significant budget and schedule savings. Key learning points  from the case will highlight: - Collaboration does not yield innovation immediately, but requires the development of trust over time; - The importance of including representatives of operations in the innovation process; - The need for owners to set clear expectations to which the ecosystem can respond.   Speakers: Andrew Page, Anglian Water (chair) Graham Winch, Manchester Business School Shane Davis, Yorkshire Water Richard Seales, Northumbrian Water Michelle Johnson, WSP
