We work with public and private sector clients to deliver best value procurement vehicles.
We work with organisations to prepare and shape winning bids that demonstrate best value.

The principle of Compulsory Competitive Tendering (CCT) – accepting the lowest price – was introduced in to the public sector in the UK in the 1980’s in an attempt to bring greater efficiency to local government through the use of competition. CCT failed to deliver this and was replaced in 1999 by the concept of ‘Best Value’ – providing the statutory basis upon which public sector plan, review and manage their performance in order to deliver continuous improvement in all services and to meet the needs and expectations of service users.

As conditions become more challenging for the industry the need to innovate and become more efficient is unquestionable. In order to drive excellence and innovation in the construction industry it is essential for clients and the market to work collaboratively – in the public sector this places the emphasis heavily on the procurement process. This was demonstrated most recently in the Government Construction Strategy published in May 2011. Public Sector procurement was identified as playing a central role in driving improvement in the construction industry, increasing efficiency and innovation, and contributing to the Government’s Plan for Growth.

Procure 4 is working with both clients and the construction industry supply chain, enabling us to provide a unique parallel service to increase collaboration and instil Best Value throughout the construction procurement process.
