Managing Contractor Single Stage Design and Construction Management (Negotiated Guaranteed Construction Sum) Contract
Drivers behind the new contract
The construction industry in Queensland is currently characterised by market volatility, resource shortages and uncertainty in respect of subcontractors and the supply chain. However, regardless of market conditions, the Queensland Government has an obligation to support a competitive, sustainable construction industry and to ensure that its significant capital works programmes are successfully delivered across all Departments.
In responding to the challenges of the current market, the Department of Public Works (DPW) has developed a procurement strategy aimed at attracting the interest of quality contractors, subcontractors and suppliers, while ensuring that the Government’s needs and obligations are met.
