Client-side delivery support and the independence it depends on
Project and programme management bought by a public body is usually client-side: the supplier represents the buyer's interest in managing designers, contractors and suppliers, rather than delivering the works itself. That independence is the product, and it is protected contractually -- a firm holding the delivery contract is normally barred from also holding the management commission on the same project, and the conflict declaration extends to group companies.
The scope is a set of defined functions rather than an outcome: governance and reporting, schedule and cost control, risk and change management, contract administration, stakeholder coordination and assurance at defined gateways. Bidders are scored on their proposed controls and on the named individuals who will operate them, and on whether the reporting they propose will actually give decision-makers something to decide on. Independent assurance reviews at stage boundaries are frequently required and are sometimes a separate appointment to preserve their independence from the delivery team.
Fees are quoted as a percentage of project value or as a resourced fee over a programme, and both create the same exposure: a project that extends costs the supplier money it did not price. Contracts therefore define the assumed duration, the mechanism when the programme changes, and what happens if the project is paused or cancelled. Buyers should read the deliverables schedule for handover: the cost plan, risk register, correspondence and contract records are the buyer's property and its institutional memory, and they are frequently the hardest thing to recover at the end.
