Partnering
Tarmac Limited have accrued considerable knowledge and experience of working in partnership with clients to deliver programmes of work.
Our reputation for delivering quality, safety and financial certainty in contracts has been further enhanced by embracing partnering and a non-adversarial culture. We are partners with clients in many long term contracts indicating our commitment to the culture and commitment of partnering, a concept which our company has adopted for a number of years, and is one of the reasons why so much of our work stems from repeat business.
Tarmac has an established record of delivering a partnership culture that is focused upon ensuring successful project delivery, in a conflict free environment. Experienced multi-disciplinary teams are used to ensure that the focus upon client service is maintained at all times, and we actively seek to develop effective team relationships that challenge normal working practice and encourage innovation and drive best value.
All our key staff have proven experience of operating in a successful partnering environment encouraging the development of a culture whereby all of the parties involved take ownership of the contract, want it to succeed and identify and resolve problems at the earliest possible stage.
From our experience of similar contracts we firmly believe that the Partnership approach will bring positive benefits to the client. These include:
Improved time and cost certainty leading to budgeting improvements
Cost savings resulting from reduction in tendering costs, value engineering exercises
Ability to benchmark this form of procurement against others
Ability to monitor the performance of its partners
Share best practice amongst the Partnership members
Opportunities for joint initiatives on Health and Safety and training sharing costs between team members
Developing employment opportunities local through the use of locally based Contractors and the provision of a predictable and sustainable workload
