The Key Performance Indicators from the previous ProCure 21 framework show that over the previous six years ProCure21 clients were very satisfied with their final product and service received. General defects were minor, safety figures were above industry average and cost and time predictability figures showed good performance.

Other indicators show that ProCure21 schemes were no more expensive than traditionally procured schemes and significant cost savings could be made through a shorter tender and construction time periods.

Footnotes

  1. Cost and time predictability takes account of the effects of client changes (compensation events).
  2. Results based on an analysis of completed P21 Schemes over £1 million Guaranteed Maximum Price.
  3. P21 performance figures will not be published in future, due to the small number of active schemes now remaining on the previous P21 framework.

Other cost savings

ProCure21 contracts were not required to be advertised in accordance with EU rules. This provides an average estimated time saving of six months per contract. The BCIS survey of tender prices (Q4-2007) forecasted a tender price rise of 5.1%. A six month time saving would therefore equate to approximately 2.55% capital cost saving over this period.

Analysis of ProCure21 schemes showed comparatively shorter construction periods - 7 weeks for schemes between £1-5m and 17weeks for schemes between £5-15m. This could equate to cost savings of approximately 1% of capital cost depending on changing tender index figures.
