Construction procurement is key to all of the industry sectors in which Achilles operates. Achilles services are currently used by over 400 leading purchasing organisations on construction projects for central and local government, public and private housing, transport and in the utility sectors.
The investment and risks involved in construction procurement have driven the industry as whole to demand higher standards of performance both in terms of the initial construction, its performance in use and the impact that this has on the end user. This wider appreciation of the impact of construction has led more and more construction organisations to use Achilles services for:
-
Strategic planning of the construction procurement process
-
Supplier pre-qualification
-
On-site validation of Health, Safety and Environmental practices
-
Collaborative performance measurement and benchmarking
Through their use of these services, clients and their contractors are collaborating on data collection and analysis to achieve significant and continuous improvements in their construction projects. Achilles works very closely with industry representatives through its Steering Groups to ensure that these services continue to meet the requirements of the industry.
