success of the Framework is down to suppliers and component manufacturers; it’s not all attributable to the top-level supply chain.” Among the supply chain members involved with the framework, he explained, are Kingsway Group, Akzo Nobel, Dulux Trade, Total Laminate Systems, Pearson Lloyd, Cableflow, Static Systems Group, Mediplan, Forbo, Tarkett, Gerflor, Dart Valley Systems, Wolseley, Armitage Shanks, Wallgate, Britplas, Polar, Whitecroft Lighting, Thorlux Lighting, Rockfon, Pineapple Furniture, Teal, and Altro.
Tools developed
At this point, Cliff Jones introduced Lewis Parker, director – Health, at Kier Strategic Frameworks & Alliances, to continue the presentation. He began: “I would like to use this part of the presentation as an opportunity to briefly introduce the framework within which we are operating, and developing some of the tools for ProCure22. What we are doing as part of that,” he continued, “is horizon-scanning the policy and implementation documents that are published so that we can support capital projects on the framework, getting the best value for them, and doing things such as supporting the business case checklist, trying to help secure funding, delivering good value, supporting the Model Hospital, and undertaking some of the things that were discussed in this morning’s sessions – in terms of focusing on the buildings, the environment, and the people. We are looking to create tools within this policy framework that actually start to pick up on these areas.”
Five Working Groups
Lewis Parker explained that there were currently five Working Groups on the ProCure22 Efficiency & Productivity Programme – the ‘engines that keep churning out good quality work in response to the challenges we are getting’. He said: “We review and reset the agenda every year, and are always interested in hearing about any challenges you are facing regularly in your own jobs, and in looking and seeing if there is somewhere we can help support you via one of these Working Groups – Post- Occupancy Evaluation and Government Soft Landings, Repeatable Rooms, Standard Components and Assemblies, Data Management, BIM – the Digital Estate, and Training.”
All this, he subsequently explained, ‘sat’ within the Efficient & Productivity programme. Pointing to a diagrammatic slide, he added: “Everywhere where you see one of these hexagons is a product of the Efficiency & Productivity programme, part of ProCure22, and actually sits within the governance we like to use, and the set of tools that deliver good quality capital projects. This is all available on our
Jason Dawson, Proton Beam Therapy director of Capital at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, said: “You have got to develop real trust, and really rely upon each other as partners, which means you’ve really got to break down those traditional barriers.”
website.” Within the hexagons shown in the slide were the P22 Launch + POE Start, the PSCP Design Process, the Design Appraisal tool, the PSCP handover process, and the P22 POE. Lewis Parker said the team had now mapped out an ‘end-to-end process’ for delivering a ProCure22 project that these Efficiency & Productivity tools sat within. He added: “There are lots of other Government departments that are quite interested in the work we are doing now. They see it as a good way of evidencing what value is in a capital programme/ investment. We are thus having a number of ongoing conversations with various procurement departments, and The Centre for Digital Built Britain.”
The ‘culture of partnering’ At this point, Omar Jomeen, Healthcare director at Galliford Try, and chair of this conference session, interjected. He said: “I just wanted to touch on something that really fundamentally matters about the Framework – that we often forget about when we are on projects: the culture of partnering. I think often this has been forgotten, but it is fundamental to the framework. I remember – when I first started within the NHS – working on schemes in a PFI environment. The culture then – if you were working on the Trust side – was that you were taught to ‘go into battle’ with the contractor and the SPV. They skilled you up for that hard negotiation. Then P22 came along and revolutionised the culture, saying: ‘Look, hold on, if the supply chain and the contractor make sustainable profits, and we work together in collaboration, what we will deliver collectively will be a lot better’. I think we must remember that. “I know all of you here will have been involved in schemes where you have
encountered problems and challenges, but that culture of collaboration is fundamental to the framework’s success, and the number of years that the various ProCure frameworks have been going. To give you some tangible evidence of the success of the various ProCure frameworks, since ProCure21 came into operation, £9 bn worth of investment has gone into the estate, and 886 schemes have been delivered. The other thing that has been forgotten is that many people think P21+ and P22 have been expensive procurement vehicles. I would challenge that, because the frameworks have released savings – often hidden ones – but in terms of what we have been able to measure, we think there have been around £330 m in savings to the NHS when you look at elements such as Standard Components and VAT recovery. These are the sorts of thing that we can tangibly measure savings-wise.”
The Christie PBT Centre
Here Omar Jomeen handed over over to Jason Dawson, Proton Beam Therapy director of Capital at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, to continue the presentation. He began: “It’s interesting to hear what Omar had to say about collaboration. I was asked to come along today as a ‘super-user’ of the ProCure21+ and ProCure22 Frameworks. I think that is perhaps the closest I will ever get to being a ‘superhero’, but sometimes I feel I need to be one when you look at some of the challenges. What I would say about the ProCure procurement framework is that it’s not an easy option – you have got to invest the commitment and the time to make it successful. I have a few slides to show you discussing some of the projects we have delivered. Tomorrow I will be
The Christie’s new Proton Beam Therapy Centre in Manchester was built by Interserve as a ProCure21+ project.
