= Introduction =

The design and manage procurement route shares several characteristics of management contracting. Under this arrangement, the works are constructed by a number of different works contractors who report to a management contractor who is selected early in the process.

For more, see Early contractor involvement.

After the fee is paid, the management contractor assumes responsibility for the other contractors and the design team.

This procurement approach is suitable for large, complex projects or projects that require an early start. It may also be a preferred method when the client prefers to have one point of contact who is responsible for everything.

= Variations =

There are two common variations of the design and manage procurement route.

* The organisation is paid as a contractor to design and manage the work and delivers the project by hiring subcontractors to design and construct the project.
* The organisation is paid as a consultant to act as the agent of the client to design and manage the work by obtaining subcontract tenders from works contractors who then each enter into a direct contract with the client.

= Advantages and disadvantages =

There are potential benefits to the design and manage procurement route. Some may include:

* A collaborative relationship between the design and manage contractor and the client.
* Fewer delays caused by a lack of information or miscommunication.
* Clearer delineation of overall financial responsibilities for the default of sub-contractors.

There are possible negative aspects of the design and manage procurement process. These may include:

* The duplication of resources between trade contractors and the design and manage contractor, resulting in a higher level of tenders.
* A lack of an established contract sum, resulting in an estimate created by the quantity surveyor and then endorsed by the design and manage contractor; it is then confirmed along the way as tendering progresses and the works proceed.
