More than 20 firms including Mace, Morgan Sindall and Mott MacDonald have signed up to the pilot phase of the government’s Value Toolkit, which aims to help clients make decisions based on the overall value that could be delivered by a construction project.
The toolkit, alongside the government’s Construction Playbook, is designed to encourage construction projects to deliver better environmental, social and economic outcomes. The initiative also aim to prompt public sector clients to see beyond the cheapest tender option when evaluating bids for new work.
Construction minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan said: “Bringing together knowledge from over 200 experts from across government and industry, this toolkit will make it easier to determine the social and environmental benefits of the decisions made by firms in the construction sector, helping it continue its drive to cut emissions and build back better from the pandemic.”
