New procurement framework

A new competence framework for construction procurement professionals has been published.

Competence Framework for Procurement Professionals in the Built Environment in England has been developed on behalf of Sector Led Group 8 of the Industry Competence Steering Group, in partnership with the Association for Project Management, the Chartered Institute of Building, the Construction Products Association, the Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

The framework is intended for use by:

• professional institutions, regulators, enforcing authorities, licensing bodies and organisations that undertake procurement activities to assess the competence of those undertaking the procurement activities; and
• individuals undertaking procurement activities to determine their own competence and to identify areas for development and/or to use those with the required expertise to undertake the procurement activities.

Dame Judith Hackitt said: “The publication of this framework marks a really important step in changing culture and achieving better outcomes in the built environment.”
