Thank you Simon for your insight, significant shift in Client and procurement techniques needs to be at the heart of stimulating improved productivity in construction. Whilst focus remains on strict tendering rules, output costs and compliant tenders we continue to drive out opportunity, better outcomes and innovation. We need a shift towards longer term partnerships, win-win relationships and Client's open to a shared risk based approach.

I was really lucky to see this in real life action when I visited the A14 pre-pandemic as part of my research on Integrated partnerships for Yorkshire Water. It was very impressive and showed great innovation and very aligned to the Project 13 ethos.
