Programme Management

Introducing change to projects generally has damaging impacts on budgets and schedules.

The Government obligatory Capital Works Management Framework  states that "project definition is the single most important exercise in the design process." By delivering a definitive project brief to Design Teams you are ensuring they can deliver a responsive and effective design process  without the costly iterations that can arise when changes are introduced.

Rogerson Reddan reviews project briefs, visits sites to establish/ verify constraints and develop Project Execution Plans for each project in the programme to ensure clarity of objectives and minimising the risk of change.

A plan defines the project needs in greater detail. It factors in Statutory Compliance (planning and health & safety law, building regulation and in the case of public works, procurement law, the Public Spending Code and the Capital Works Management Framework). It must also do surveys and research to establish impacting constraints and risks. Rogerson Reddan is competent and skilled in supporting teams in weaving all these elements  into a clear and comprehensive plan of work.

When designing and planning the procurement of design team services and project works the main objectives is typically to achieve value for money in an efficient and accountable manner. 

Public Bodies/ Contracting Authorities have the added onerous obligation of legal compliance. This legal obligation requires that their procurements are designed and administered to ensure they deliver competition, equal treatment, non-discrimination and process transparency. 

Rogerson Reddan have extensive knowledge and experience in public procurement. Its planning, integration and execution in project plans needs careful management and control so risk of delay or challenge are minimised 

Contracts formalise agreements by defining the terms and conditions under which goods, services or works are purchased. Contracts impose legal obligations on each party to the contract. It is critical, therefore, that these contract obligations are clear and unambiguous.

 Contract administration requires structures and rigour to manage the contract and ensure delivery to cost, time and quality requirements. We possess the knowledge/experience to ensure that comprehensive contract administration processes are established, monitored, and reported on.

Delivery is about having a plan that delivers the programme objectives; having clarity as to peoples' roles, responsibilities & tasks, monitoring and reporting on progress and promptly address issue and risks.

We have the hard skills to assist design teams in setting up delivery systems and then to monitor, report  and promptly address issues and risks that challenge the delivery of the project programme. Further, we have the soft skills to manage stakeholder communications, performance and relationships.

Risk Management is a means of improving your confidence in the successful outcome of your project. Risk management considers what might go wrong on the project and then puts in place a system to avoid or mitigate the event. 

We ensure risks are managed by supporting the design teams to develop a risk management system at the start of a project and to report manage and review through all stages.

Service deliverables that are incomplete, late, or of poor quality result in time delays and expense, not just for the offending party but also for the project and other team members.

We ensure that design teams plan for quality to ensure tasks are done right first time and delivered on time. Our own processes are quality managed and are certified under the ISO 9001: 2015.
