Explore the role of various procurement systems in various types of construction projects.

Assessment task details and instructions Context Conventional approaches to construction and infrastructure procurement have been consistently criticised for continuing to focus the competitive element – the tendering process – almost solely on the determination of an initial price for a given design. Modern approaches to procurement are expected to consider wider Assessment Information/Brief 2 client and stakeholder values. Both public and private sector clients have sought to introduce approaches that focus competition not only on economic but also, wider social and environmental outcomes. In 2017 the UK government put it this way – “We will maximise the contribution that… investments can make to growth and productivity by strengthening consideration of broad strategic outcomes at the earliest stage… and then carrying them through all subsequent parts of the design and procurement process”. In addition, in September 2021 it was emphasised the “The Government is committed to using its position as the single largest construction client to support adoption of a more productive, efficient and sustainable business model within the UK construction sector”. Task details Your employer – as part of a strategic review of the business – has asked you to produce an internal report on the significance of these moves towards “procuring for value” by both government and private sector clients. You are tasked to • do a critical review of attempts at building wider values into the procurement process. The focus should be on what is meant by value. • explain and synthesise the current advocated strategic approaches to procurement (including for example the guidance of the Government Playbook, Infrastructure Procurement Route-map and the wide array of Framework Arrangements, available in the market- place) that public and private sector clients are adopting • discuss in detail your firm/how firms in the construction industry could be considering how their current business model can help them address the changing procurement approaches, and whether they need to change their business model to capitalize on these changes. You are encouraged to discuss cases and real project examples in building your arguments. You may choose to apply the learning from the module directly into your current or recent workplace. Instructions – Business Report Format The assignment is to be submitted in a report format and as such should have a formal structure and layout. It should be submitted as a single document. The University has produced general guidance for Business Report writing and this should be followed – Assessment Information/Brief 3 https://www.salford.ac.uk/sites/default/files/2020-06/BusinessStyle-Reports.pdf Instructions – referencing style/ requirements References should be recorded using the Harvard APA 7th Edition, details of which can be found here https://www.salford.ac.uk/skills/referencing/apa-7th-edition Instructions – the audience for the task The scenario is set that you should write the report imagining that you are employed in the construction sector and that the report has been requested by your line manager/ Director. You may, of course, choose to use a current or recent employment situation to guide you. Knowledge and Understanding Practical, Professional or Subject Specific Skills Assessed intended learning outcomes On successful completion of this assessment, you will be able to: 1. Critically evaluate client objectives and determine the appropriate selection of procurement systems for design and construction services. 2. Critically evaluate supply chain relationships and develop strategies for various stakeholders in the construction industry. On completion, you will have had the opportunity to/will be able to: 3. Advise on the selection of appropriate procurement routes. 4. Advise relevant parties on the rationale regarding early strategic procurement decisions. Module Aims 1. Explore the role of various procurement systems in various types of construction projects. 2. Critically examine strategic procurement approaches for effective and efficient design and construction solutions Word count Your report should be no more than 3000 words long. This includes every word, excluding only: any initial contents/title page, and the reference list located at the very end of your submission. Only the first 3000 words (as defined above) will be marked. Any words written in excess of 3000 will be ignored. At this L7 stage of your development, you need to decide how to allocate the limited word count to the separate sections of the assignment, considering the proportion of the marks allocated to each. Feedback arrangements You can expect to receive your assignment marks and summative feedback within 20 working days of your submission and this will be loaded into Blackboard.

You will use this topic to build on for Assignments 2-4. – Develop a question to investigate this topic using the PICO method. Then identify PICO terms to guide the search strategy. – Development of a search strategy using the PICO terms identified above on the specific contemporary public health topic or policy area chosen. Terms should include alternative terms, spellings, synonyms and medical search headings with inclusion-exclusion criteria identified (example will be provided). – Once the search strategy is developed students will conduct the search strategy in three databases (CINAHL and two others of your choice that are applicable to the field of public health). The search is required to be undertaken using advanced search methods including MeSH headings (more information will be provided for this in your tutorial). Students are then required to summarise findings in a table of findings (example will be provided). The process must follow these required steps: 1. Perform an advanced search in CINAHL Fulltext. This search should include all terms, symbols, correct use of Boolean operators, MeSH and adjustment/ refinement if required. Provide evidence of this by copying and pasting the search history (full strategy) into the assignment as an appendix. 2.
