Integrated procurement, sometimes known as collaborative procurement or partnering, is intended to focus the participants of a project on the mutual objectives of delivering a project on time, to budget and to quality. It is about working as a team, regardless of organisation or location, to meet a client’s needs.
JCT’s range of partnering documents set the standard for collaborative contract working. Partnering is a principle that can be applied to most JCT contracts and provision is made for this in our Non-Binding Partnering Charter (PC/N).
