PPP is full of pride after being awarded the NEC Contracts Award last week at the Martin Barnes Award ceremony.
The award recognised PPP’s pioneering alignment to the NEC4 suite of contracts, with procurement centred around Key Delivery Partners (KDPs) and Tier 3 Frameworks, our SME Matchmaker Service and innovative incentivisation.
The Martin Barnes Awards is an annual event of the NEC Users’ Group under the Institution of Civil Engineers of the United Kingdom to give recognition to projects and organisations around the world that have showcased excellence in project delivery through collaborative partnering.
As the award suggests, it’s been a huge collaborative effort from people spanning different organisations including Sellafield Ltd, PPP, Solomons Europe, Fieldfisher, our KDPs and our SME partners who have all embraced a Project 13 enterprise approach and new ways of working.
John Rossiter, head of supply chain, PPP, said: “I’m incredibly proud of the PPP supply chain strategy and to be part of the team that is changing the dial, creating an enterprise based on commercially aligned, incentivised, long term contracts, which give surety of work, confidence to invest in the region and puts SME innovation into the earliest stages of project delivery.
“This is what the Project 13 Network is all about: an integrated enterprise delivering real outcomes for projects, business and communities, being presented the NEC Contracts Awards helps to recognise what the industry is capable of with the right delivery models.”
James Fennell, head of commercial, PPP Client, said: “This recognition is an example of what we are trying to achieve in PPP, major project excellence through collaboration. What makes this difference is not the Client approach, but how the Client approach has enabled a deeper collaborative ecosystem through multiple supply chain tiers.
“As I was describing at last weeks’ PPP SME Matchmaker event, what we have created is the environment to thrive, now is the time to realise those opportunities and create more! This can only be done when we, with our Lot Partners, KDPs and supporting supply chain, meet our collective commitments and continue to push for more.”
