Fair and Transparent: Implementing the CAMF for Construction Procurement

A Partnership Approach to Public Policy Procurement in BC
Download Here: FAIR AND TRANSPARENT: IMPLEMENTING THE CAMF FOR CONSTRUCTION PROCUREMENT

On January 14, 2013, the British Columbia Construction Association (BCCA) officially published a fourteen-page review of industry concerns, providing practical recommendations to improve the planning, implementation, and operation of assets in BC’s public sector.

Fair and Transparent: Implementing the CAMF for Construction Procurement stresses the need for partnership and outlines the struggle to successfully establish reasonable standards for government, Crown corporations and publicly-funded agencies’ use in capital asset planning.

The BCCA’s recommendations for public procurement policy include:

  • facilitating a variety of procurement approaches, instead of favouring a single approach
  • ensuring qualification criteria are actually relevant to the bidder’s ability to deliver the service
  • requiring disclosure of public procurement results
  • requiring audits with published results
  • ensuring entities such as Shared Services and Partnerships BC do not compete with the private sector
  • creating formal mechanisms for ongoing collaboration between industry and government in regard to procurement practices

An Introduction to Integrated Project Delivery

The BCCA does not promote one project delivery method over another, but advocates for a complete understanding of all methods available to an owner. BCCA’s opinion is that the industry should proceed with caution and be aware that IPD has many challenges to our standards and practices for market fairness. We should work with public owners to advocate for the development of an education program for all the stakeholders in IPD.
