  1. Workshop Activity 1 (in groups – 4 students in each) – 15 minutes • Develop a working definition for the term “procurement”

  2. Procurement – Definitions ‘The act of obtaining by care or effort, acquiring or bringing about’ (OED) The acquisition of new buildings or space within buildings either by directly buying, renting, leasing or by designing and building a facility to meet a specific need’ (Mohsini and Davidson (1989) Procurement of a construction project - is getting the project built by making decisions on a variety of issues based on project needs. Procurement is a strategy to satisfy clients’ development and/or operational needs with respect to the provision of constructed facilities for a discrete life-cycle (Lenard and Mohsini (1998)

  3. Procurement is a framework within which construction is brought about, acquired or obtained through the choice of the most appropriate procurement strategy (CIB W92 – 1991, Sharif and Morledge, 1996) Procurement system is the organisational structure adopted by the client for the implementation (or even operation) of a project. Building procurement can be defined as the careful appraisal of the client’s needs, and identifying and acquiring the necessary external resources needed to carry out the whole or part of a construction project and their integration with the internal resources of the client

  4. Workshop Activity 2 (work in groups of 4) – 15 minutes • Identify main types of construction clients and provide three (3) examples under each category that may need the services of a built environment organisation to deliver its projects

  5. Workshop Activity 3 (work in groups – 4 students in each) – 15 minutes • Consider a mini case study project and prepare a list of points that you (client) would wish to raise on behalf of your organisation involved in the briefing process

  6. Client’s role in the briefing process is very crucial to the success of the project since a couple of decades • “Briefing is the most important contribution the client can make to the building project. It is as creative as anything the Architect or any other Designer do” (Salisbury, 1990) • Document called ‘Briefing the Team’ by Construction Industry Board divided the overall briefing process into following key stages: • Getting started • Defining the project • Assembling the team • Designing and constructing • Completion and evaluation
