Building Software believe that:

Supply Chain Management is a procurement issue that should focus on business-to-business, not project specific, relationships.

The choice of suppliers and subcontractors should be based on an auditable assessment of their current and past performance, their capability and capacity to carry out the work, and their total service/price offer.

The long-term relationship with a Partner is as important as any short term benefits from the first bid in the initial selection process.

Supply Chain Management must be underpinned by rigorous performance measurement benchmarked over time.

Effective Supply Chain Management will improve buyer/seller performance and bring tangible benefits to both..

Suppliers and subcontractors should be rewarded for both good and continuously improving performance over a matrix of measures.

Supply Chain Management creates better understanding between Partners.

Supply Chain Management is the most effective way of sharing best practice between Partners.
