Ask in best practice hunt

Ask Developments is looking for two main contractors to bring current best practice thinking on supply chain management to its projects.
Ask has an average annual construction spend of £40m to £50m. It develops large-scale mixed-use schemes in the North West and Yorkshire.
Ask wants to create integrated project teams incorporating key members of the supply chain with its design teams.
Contract forms will be developed, including retention alternatives, project insurance and performance incentives in key areas such as health and safety.
Ask project manager Andrew Parker said: "We hope to engage with forward-thinking partners and provide them with involvement in the development process, which will ensure project-specific benefits to all parties.
"We envisage other key members of the supply chain being engaged subsequent to establishing main contractor relationships."
Ask wants its contractors to be aware of stakeholder aims and expectations, and hopes greater awareness will lead to fewer snags.
Contractors have until 30 July to express an interest. Ask can be contacted by email on partnership@ask-dev.co.uk.
