Can the Gold Standard Revolutionise Public Sector Construction?
From Report to Impact
Tuesday 13th May 2025, 1800 for 1830 start
-
AluK Design Studio, 5-11 Worship Street, London, EC2A 2BH
We are delighted to welcome Professor David Mosey to (re)introduce us to ‘Constructing the Gold Standard – An Independent Review of Public Construction Frameworks’ and the actions taken to improve the outcomes of public sector procurement.
‘Constructing the Gold Standard’ is a best practice report that is actually being put into effect. It is endorsed by Government and industry for implementation on a ‘comply or explain’ basis and its adoption is being tested through a Constructing Excellence verification scheme.
This talk will explore the 24 Gold Standard recommendations and how they help to create frameworks and framework contracts that provide ‘a powerful engine-room for strategic planning, integrated teams, continuous improvement and the delivery of better, safer, faster and greener projects’. It will explain how the Gold Standard has used successful case studies and proven systems to recommend improvements in the strategy, procurement, contracting and management of construction frameworks and alliances.
