Constructing the Gold Standard: Choosing the Right Framework for Better Supply Chain Partnerships
Not all frameworks deliver the same value, and for contractors and suppliers, choosing the right route can have a lasting impact on profitability, pipeline and project success. This panel will explore how the principles of the Construction Excellence Gold Standard are reshaping procurement, moving beyond lowest-price tendering towards fairer risk allocation, earlier supply chain engagement and longer-term collaborative relationships. Drawing on real experience from both framework providers and the supply chain, attendees will learn how to assess framework quality, identify genuine opportunities for growth and avoid procurement models that create unnecessary risk and erode value.
