Other cost savings

ProCure21 contracts are not required to be advertised in accordance with EU rules. This provides an average estimated time saving of six months per contract. The BCIS survey of tender prices (Q4-2007) forecasted a tender price rise of 5.1%. A six month time saving would therefore equate to approximately 2.55% capital cost saving over this period.

Analysis of ProCure21 schemes show comparatively shorter construction periods - 7 weeks for schemes between £1-5m and 17weeks for schemes between £5-15m. This could equate to cost savings of approximately 1% of capital cost depending on changing tender index figures.
