Partnership
Working
Objective: To work together to create a project that is based on
trust, mutual goals and a commitment to deliver a quality scheme to the public
whilst providing best value for money.
This contract is the first partnering contract undertaken by Wyre Borough
Council. We have been working closely with
Birse Civils Ltd from the
initial design stages.
Partnering is characterised by:
-
A greater trust and openness
- We share all information, have only one set of files and share offices.
-
A common objective - Within
the team we have one objective, the successful delivery of the Cleveleys
Coastal Defence and Promenade Improvement Scheme.
-
A shared understanding -
Unlike traditional contracts the Contractor has been part of the team from
the project outset, we both understand what is of key importance and what
each party is to provide.
-
Understanding and sharing
risks - Construction on the coast has a number of high risks notably the
weather, tides and ground conditions. Partnering has allowed better
understanding and control of risks and a team approach to problem solving.
