3. Discussion on possible areas for cooperation (2008):
/ Nygård Magnus
Discussion on possible areas for cooperation (2008):
Meetings / year, to follow-up the procurement issues in practice.
Client's issues and client organisation regarding to procurement.
Follow-up would be interesting within a couple of years: what has changed? Have the recommendations come into practice?
Competence - how to ensure the competence on market so that the new procurement methods can be utilized and that they will work well. Quite a lot of procurement methods have been done, but the competence of the personnel have not been developed to the needs in new methods. Education must be real education, not informal discussion and seminars - together with clients, consultants and contractors.
Systematical benchmarking should be more carefully described. Bench marking should normally be used on well prepared, and well defined is- sues instead of a very wide scope.
Proposal for continuation of the work needs to be done.

4. Market changed dramatically
/ Nygård Magnus
Market changed dramatically
spring 2008 still a lot of infrastructure and housebuilding projects ongoing
problems with prices in competitive bidding processes
similar problems in Nordic countries
autumn 2008 the finance crisis started
investments stopped on private sector
more bids coming in in bidding processes
price decreased
future of Public Private Partnership -projects?
price of "private money"?
lessons learned?
the change occurred quickly
more Design-Bid-Build instead of Design-Build in high economic activity
revival package; some new projects, mostly small projects - larger ones take time to start
some cooperation done within this area between Nordic countries
GD Roads working groups: within in price estimates, market situation

no systematical information exchange has been done during
Finland and Sweden starting with new organisations; road + rail in same organisation
effects of this in procurement?
Contracts types
cooperation within investement projects
PPP
Increased cooperation (possible issues)
possibility for in depth study, or,
describing a common model for cooperation, or
defining the "cornerstones" of cooperation, and describing good ways to use them
