Contract award strategy for hospitals and clinics

CONTRACT AWARD STRATEGY FOR HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

Hospital and clinic construction projects often fail because of the building owner’s security requirements. At the very least, they face difficult decisions because of their desire for construction cost certainty and protection against project risks. Optimal implementation of construction projects in this respect is not least a function of the right contract award model. Our specialists identify suitable contract award strategies and support you with their implementation. 

 

TO WHAT EXTENT IS HAVING SUITABLE CONTRACT AWARD STRATEGY FOR HOSPITAL PROJECTS IMPORTANT TO YOU?

  • Do you require sound resource planning for an upcoming construction project? 
  • Are you unsure which contract award model is most suitable for your project?
  • Do you want security from volatile construction prices and general project risks? 
  • Is there a balance risk-benefit ratio between your project goals and your procurement model? 
  • Are you unsure which construction partner or supplier can best implement your project? 

 

 

YOU HAVE TO ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING POINTS

  • Contract award process that is attractive to the market 
  • Rigorous strategy for you as principal that is also attractive to the market 

 

HOW WE APPROACH HOSPITAL CONTRACT AWARD STRATEGIES

As a first step, our expert team members analyze the principal’s resources, know-how and abilities. They then carefully analyze the project itself and define the project goals. This is followed by a market comparison of appropriate contract award models. This can be combined with an optional market analysis with approaches to suitable contractors. We then classify the most suitable approaches for the principal as 'Plan A' and 'Plan B', and further specify these further in a detailed process, resource and services plan.
