Dudley College of Technology

Dudley College has helped to change how procurement is carried out by using the integrated project insurance (IPI) model to procure and deliver the UK鈥檚 first IPI scheme, Advance II, to build its new centre for advanced building technologies. This new model of procurement is being tested by government. It uses a fully integrated collaborative working approach including the  adoption of a project bank account, BIM and lean design, while insuring project risks rather than liabilities  and promoting a 鈥渘o blame, no claim鈥� culture. The project was very successful, with 99% of its success criteria achieved, 23% exceeded and completion 6.5% below the project investment target.
