Government launches new Construction Playbook

New plans on how government will work with the construction sector to ensure public sector works are delivered 'faster, better and greener’ have been launched.

The Construction Playbook is expected to be similar to the existing Outsourcing Playbook, and will provide guidance on planning, evaluation, contract selection and implementation.

The publication of the document follows the launch in the summer of the Construction Leadership Council's (CLC) 'Roadmap to Recovery', which set out a series of committments to transform and strengthen construction in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The CLC said it hoped the Playbook would cultivate a stronger and more sustainable relationship between government and the industry and offer the opportunity for a more "strategic and less transactional" approach to construction delivery.
