Assessment task and specific terms
Scenario:
The Kingston city authorities are planning on a new-build local government
administrative headquarters to be located in the city centre. This will achieve the
centralisation of all public sector departments and relocation of their staff to a single
location. These departments are currently located in a number of properties of
different types and ages across the city, and the client view is that this arrangement
is no longer suitable for the purposes of modern and efficient administration of
government services. The strategic objectives of the client for the new project are to
achieve Value for Money by rationalising local government service departments in
a high specification modern building that befits a progressive and visionary city. The
project has a budget of £25M and an initial estimate is that around 12500m2 of
accommodation is required, although this is likely to be reviewed as the design
develops.
The client need to have a Strategic Project and quality Procurement Lifecycle for
the project which ensures value and risk studies are integrated in the process. The
project is currently at an early stage of development and the client representative
has commissioned you as an independent PM consultant to advice on the value and
risk studies to be carried out at the following stages.
