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

What is Project 13?
Project 13 is an industry-led response to infrastructure delivery models that fail not just clients and their suppliers, but also the operators and users of our infrastructure systems and networks.
It seeks to develop a new business model – based on an enterprise, not on traditional transactional arrangements – to boost certainty and productivity in delivery, improve whole life outcomes in operation and support a more sustainable, innovative, highly skilled industry.

How can project13 play a role in delivering better humanitarian infrastructure?
As managing director of IHIP, the international humanitarian infrastructure platform, we are focusing on conditions of particular application of construction contract for humanitarian works. From that perspective we can see the critical role which the private sector could play to improve the humanitarian response in engaging with bigger and more complex infrastructure works. It seems project13 is an appropriate framework to have this sectorial discussion. Would any of you be happy to share views -

What makes a great Project 13 Capable Owner or Partner/Supplier?
Thanks Dave, I'll never tire of common sense and best practice and the early integration of experts in the project lifecycle has been one of our fundamental goals in the smp Alliance. We set up a great framework but it taking a culture shift to get Partners in design and construction to engage both informally and formally when the development of a scheme is in it's early stages. Building trust and confidence is key and it's really positive to see those changes happening. You're spot o -

Project 13 set up and commercial 'wiring diagram'
At the Project13 Adopter Workshop yesterday we discussed the commercial make-up of the different Alliances. It was interesting to see the variety in set-up as each Adopter went through their commercial 'wiring diagram' to explain how they operate and how well it is working in practice.We identified themes around getting full integration across the whole enterprise, including how we can bring people together to feel a part of the Alliance and how individuals and teams who are remote can be integ
