Commenting on the IUK Cost Review annual report –
Peter Hansford of the Nichols Group, chair of the Chair of Cost study’s Infrastructure Steering Committee and past ICE president, said:
“The progress made in year one is encouraging and I have seen close, constructive working between government, clients and industry to achieve the goals. The National Infrastructure Plan and future pipeline of funded infrastructure have improved visibility for industry and provide a platform for change in procurement practice that will help achieve cost savings. Looking to year two, active engagement with the implementation of the cost review across the whole industry will be key to ensuring the principles are put into practice. In my role as chair of the Infrastructure Steering Committee, I will continue to advocate industry engagement and maintain enthusiasm for this important programme.”
