PROGRAMME DELIVERY AND MANAGEMENT
Please provide a detailed programme in the form of a Gantt chart and supporting methodology that demonstrates how the IST will manage the programme, considering all stages of the contract and sequencing of the works.
The Gantt chart should clearly indicate key tasks during the pre-construction, construction and post-handover stages including critical path, float, time risk allowance, dependent tasks and key milestones.
Please provide details of your methodology for programme management to ensure successful delivery of the works considering the Employer’s programme requirements and constraints particular to this project as outlined in the Works Information.
Your response should include project specific details to demonstrate the following:
• Your ability to plan and deliver the services and works by the Completion Date
• How you will manage and monitor the programme during the pre-construction stage of the project
• How you will manage and monitor the programme during the construction stage and comply with NEC4 requirements for programme management
• How you will implement measures to be taken if the programme is not being achieved during the Pre-Construction and Construction stages
• Identify areas where the programme could be improved to arrive at an earlier completion date.
