Enhance Supplier Capability and Innovation -encourages continuous improvement, innovation, and the development of expertise required to meet the Department's complex needs. 2. Enable Supplier Investment - longer-term, predictable pipeline of work supports investment in skills, technology, and infrastructure, ensuring better value and performance. 3. Support the Construction Lifecycle - alignment of framework duration with the construction project lifecycle promotes performance-based improvements and ensures consistency in delivery. |
