<p>Through the Government’s Construction Strategy 2016-20 Integrated Project Insurance
(IPI), the Trial Projects Working Group, set up by Cabinet Office, piloted IPI on
Dudley College’s project to build a Centre for Advanced Building Technologies. However,
when the Working Group completed its work in 2017, after four years of development,
it was felt that the IPI model needed further involvement from industry before it
could be adopted by Government departments. To date there has been no further trialling
or adoption of the model other than an extension to the original contract.</p><p>
</p><p>The Government through the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) and the Infrastructure
Projects Authority via commercial specialists cite the IPI model in presentations
to customers and programmes and it is referenced in the CCS’s Construction Works and
Associated Services Framework as one of the approaches that clients might consider
when procuring construction services. It will also be offered in CCS’s new Construction
Professional Services Framework, which is due to go to the market in early 2021.</p><p>
</p><p>The Government has also recently published its Construction Playbook to support
the upskilling of Government as a client, and includes reference to IPI, which will
assist departments in making procurement decisions and considering if the IPI model
might be applicable.</p>
