36 Hub Designer Payment Terms

37 Fair Payment HUB Retention Project Bank Accounts Session 3

38 A potential new approach to contract assurance which eliminates cash retentions

39 Recent developments Specialist Engineering Contractors Group National Specialist Contractors Council The Construction Supply Chain Charter Project Bank Accounts Trust status for retentions Frameworks with zero retention

40 Major requirements for Assurance of Main Contractor Performance An insolvency event Default in performance leading to breach of contract Defect rectification

41 Principles of a new approach (1) No retention in the main contract No retention in the supply chain Adoption of BSRIA soft landings or similar A rigorous Practical Completion Test Formal valuation of snagging or incomplete work at practical completion Neutral in cost to employer

42 Principles of a new approach (2) 1% Project Specification Performance Payment added to the tender sum o Payable at the end of the defects liability period o Linked to 100% of specified criteria compliance o Employer can use it if 100% not achieved 10% conditional performance bond for the main contract o Guidance on wording to cover insolvency events o Guidance on ensuring bondsman is reputable

43 Benefits Significant cash flow benefits for Tier 2 and 3 suppliers Opportunity to pass on some of the financial benefit in lower pricing Encourages professional relationships in supply chains with reputable suppliers Retains essential assurance for insolvency PSPP means incentives and protection for defect rectification still exist Encourages defect free handovers Avoids administration of trust accounts for retention

44 Fair Payment HUB Retention Project Bank Accounts Session 3

45 Project Bank Accounts Colin Judge FRICS Construction Procurement Policy Unit h ttp://www.gov.scot/Topics/Government/Procurement/policy/Review ProcConst/projectbankaccounts (Or Google - “Scottish Project Bank Accounts” - it works!)

46 Why is the Scottish Government trialling PBAs? What difference does prompt payment make?

47 The four trial projects and their current status A96 Inveramsay Bridge (c£10.17m) –Transport Scotland –PBA a condition of tender in amended TS bespoke Design & Build Contract –on site now, completion due Spring 2016 - PBA payments underway –Initial lessons learned on PBA set up/implementation gathered and being evaluated –Another iteration scheduled early 2016 for PBA operation. Transport Interchange, Galashiels (c£5.2m) –Scottish Borders Council via South East Hubco –PBA retrofitted into bespoke conditions of contract –work on site completed August 2015 –Feedback/lessons on PBA being gathered and evaluated Two separate maintenance projects at Monklands Hospital (total c£1.4m) –NHS Lanarkshire via National Services Scotland –PBA retrofitted into Framework Scotland 2 via NEC3 2005 ‘Z’ clause –work on site completed September 2014 –Feedback/lessons learned gathered on PBA

48 How long is the trial period and what happens next? What is Scottish Government doing? Website Lessons Learned Programme FAQs and templates Policy Leads’ Forum Building PBA processes Corporate compliance and effectiveness

49 What are the principal lessons learned - so far? PBAs result in prompt and protected payments to subcontractors They are a collaborative endeavour requiring purposeful action The banking sector is the critical enabler Our PBA operating model Further development needed - the 6 Cs

50 Some more detail on lessons learned

51 How do PBAs effect prompt payment? What else does a PBA achieve? What things can a PBA not achieve, address or change? –“how and when”, not “why and what”

52 What are the essential elements of a PBA in Scottish Government? The account is set up in joint names of public body and main contractor They are both named as trustees in the trust agreementtrust agreement And they should jointly instruct the bank to make payments from the account to beneficiaries What is “trust status” and how does it work in a PBA?

53 Which projects are suitable for PBA application? Do PBAs favour larger rather than smaller main contractors?

54 What does the bank do? Must the public body authorise payment through the banking system?

55 How do subcontractors join a PBA? –the trust documents What about implementing the PBA down the supply chain? –aligning payment cycles

57 Coffee Break

58 Embedding Whole Life Costing within Construction Paul Dodd Scottish Futures Trust Session 4

59 Embedding Whole Life Costing “From project conception to contract award, there should be a focus on the design quality and whole life cost of an asset.” “Public bodies should build whole-life costs into business cases and subsequent project reporting” Audit Scotland 2008 “This recommendation remains fundamental to achieving best value for money and so we believe it to be worth repeating here, and worth underlining that where this is not already happening, it should, as a matter of priority.” Review of Scottish Public Sector Procurement In Construction

60 Embedding Whole Life Costing “ In the development of a business case and procurement strategy, Procuring Authorities should ensure a focus is made on service outcomes. To facilitate this approach, further guidance should be developed to embed design and whole life costing early within the development process. ” Review of Scottish Public Sector Procurement In Construction

61 Response to Recommendation Scottish Government WLC Guidance Guidance which will support and promote effective whole life cost analysis and outcomes within projects. 1.Consistent WLC Definition 2.New WLC Dashboard 3.Support on procuring skills and expertise early in projects. 4.Links to best practice and benchmarks

62 Whole Life Cost Definition

63 Whole Life Cost – VFM Dashboard Input Consistent data Whole Life Cost Assessment Compare Various options Input Consistent data Whole Life Cost Assessment Compare Various options Output WLC Scorecard Consistent reporting Support approval process. Support VFM over lifetime not just capital cost. Output WLC Scorecard Consistent reporting Support approval process. Support VFM over lifetime not just capital cost.

65 Whole Life Cost Analysis Option AnalysisPreferred Option Assessment

66 Design-Led Procurement Overview: Ensuring the correct skills and expertise are procured early within the projects which are focussed on service outcomes and whole life cost. Guidance on procurement of effective WLC consultancy and design advice (PQQ/ Cost:quality). Case studies of best practice.

67 Summary Overview: Ongoing development of the WLC guidance through consultations. Draft WLC guidance prepared Developing benchmark information. Test scorecard on live projects. Continue consultation process with industry. Guidance to be published by June 2016.

68 Making the Tender Process More Efficient Iain Ross Scottish Government Session 5

69 The Construction Procurement Environment Subject to EU, UK and Scottish Legislation and Guidance Deliver value for money Fair, open and transparent within that ….. Appropriate Proportionate

70 The Tender Process Process Advert Pre Qualification ITT Award Tools Quick Quote PCS & PCS-T SPQQ Guidance – Construction Procurement Manual Construction Journey

71 Quick Quote The norm for works contracts under £500k Used where appropriate for construction related contracts under Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 thresholds: – Services £50k – Works £2m

72 Public Contract Scotland 39. Practice should be standardised by making the use of Public Contracts Scotland mandatory when advertising publicly-funded construction contracts. (Para 7.3.14a) 40.Contractors on major projects should be encouraged to advertise sub-contracts on PCS where they have not already fully identified their supply chain. (para 7.3.14b)

73 Public Contract Scotland 41. Product categorisations used on PCS should be reviewed to ensure that they are as accurate as possible for construction projects. (Para 7.3.14c) 42.SPCD should assess the current performance of the PCS systems through user feedback to ensure high standards are being achieved and are capable of being maintained following adoption of wider usage. (Para 7.3.14d)

74 Standard Pre-Qualification Questionnaire Develop guidance to ensure use of SPQQ is proportionate and relevant to the needs of construction. It should be mandated. Develop consultancy/specialist services suites of standard questions

75 Summary Deliver guidance that ensures construction procurement is: Appropriate Proportionate Inclusive with The right decisions in a Compliant – open, fair & transparent - environment
