Glenigan and Constructing Excellence win contract to deliver UK
Construction Industry Key Performance Indicators
Glenigan in partnership with Constructing Excellence have been
awarded a 3 year contract to deliver UK Construction Industry Key
Performance Indicators (KPIs). The KPIs are national data sets
against which a project or a company can benchmark its performance.
The KPIs are an initiative from the Department of Business Innovation &
Skills (BIS) and the initial survey process is currently
carried out by the Office for National
Statistics (ONS).
The data is collected each year from national surveys covering
the construction industry and its clients. The KPIs are published
by Constructing Excellence on the KPIzone website (www.kpizone.com) which is updated
each June with data collected from the previous year.
In mid 2009 BIS & ONS tendered the work through the OJEU
to:
- Compile and maintain the list of active clients and
contractors;
- Carry out the survey and record and summarise the results;
- Analyse and interpret the results – reporting back to BIS;
- Deliver the resultant KPI data in agreed format to KPI Zone;
and
- Actively encourage adoption and awareness of the KPIs
throughout the UK construction industry
Glenigan, in partnership with Constructing Excellence
(CE) won this tender in October 2009 and are actively working
with ONS to take over the survey during the first half of 2010.
Keith Folwell, Senior Statistician at BIS, said "BIS has supported KPIs since their
inception as a tool for improving performance in the construction
industry. We firmly believe that the future for KPIs lies in
increasing coverage and take-up within the construction industry.
Glenigan’s comprehensive database of construction projects and
communication links should contribute a great deal towards these
ends."
According to Graham Sharp, Head of Construction Statistics at
ONS, "Glenigan hold a
comprehensive register of active clients and contractors in
the construction industry that is maintained using robust research
processes. Through continual tracking of the progress of
construction projects Glenigan hold timely data that will improve
the KPI survey process. Awarding the contract to Glenigan will
ultimately increase the value of the KPIs to the industry."
Jon De Souza, Director of Constructing
Excellence, commented “Constructing Excellence is proud to be
working in partnership with Glenigan to help improve the
performance of the construction industry. Glenigan combine research
and analytical expertise with innovative ideas and a genuine desire
for continuous improvement which make them a pleasure to work
with.”
Mike Woolfrey, Managing Director, Glenigan said "Glenigan is
extremely proud to have been awarded this contract. Glenigan is
committed to delivering measurable returns and genuine value to all
our customers and are confident that the timeliness and
comprehensiveness of the Glenigan data, combined with our
analytical expertise will benefit those using the KPIs."
