Win more work in the public sector - MEMBER OFFER
10/08/2009
Public sector construction is changing. Many frameworks are under pressure. Public sector clients are seeking different kinds of relationships and are increasingly reviewing their existing contractor base. Policy and existing programmes are in flux as the public sector purse is squeezed and a general election approaches.
How can you get a clear view of what clients are planning and also what opportunities and risks are being created? Plenty of market research reports will give you a general overview of what is happening in the public sector construction market. Few give you real insight into what decision-makers are really thinking and planning.
One that promises to give you such insight is ClientVoice - the new research report launched by Construction News, also using the knowledge and contacts of New Civil Engineer, Local Government Chronicle and Health Service Journal. It "gives you unique and up to date business intelligence that will increase your chances of winning new clients and getting closer to your existing ones", say Construction News.
This report will include:
* what the real trends are across the public sector in terms of plans to break up framework contracts, rationalise supply chains and drive down cost
* what areas of spend are going to come under pressure over the next couple of years - and which will have more opportunities
* what clients value most in their construction suppliers - what’s essential and what is only 'nice to have’. And where contractors and subcontractors are falling down
* who really makes the decisions about the built environment within clients and how this varies between organisations.
The report also breaks the figures down by organisational type and size.
Construction News are interviewing more than 300 decision makers across health, education, local government and central government, supplemented by independent analysis of public sector policy and practice.
The report is priced at £800 but CIMCIG members can claim a £150 discount if they buy before 30 September.
