Procurement & Delivery Board News
The Board held a workshop on the 29 November last year with members of the industry. The objective of the day was to help develop ideas on how the IHT Procurement & Delivery Board can use its unique position in the highways industry to influence improvement across a range of key procurement and delivery issues. These ideas will be used to help frame a business plan for the Board which will be used to help develop its work with members, government, local authorities, consultants and contractors. The outputs gained from the day were:

• Confirmation of priority areas for the industry

• Ideas and key issues for consideration relating to those areas

• Actions and initiatives that the Board could consider developing and supporting

This Information will be used to frame a future business plan for the Board.
The Board are also looking to run a conference in 2008 entitled ‘Procurement & Delivery - State of the Nation’. More information on the work of the P& D Board is available from the Board Secretary. John.Smart@iht.org
