Reforms to Public Works Contract Aim to Balance Risks Amid Market Challenges in Ireland
Last Month Ministers Paschal Donohoe and Ossian Smyth announced a package of crucial amendments to the Public Works Contract. This move aims to better balance the risks associated with delivering public works projects and responds to ongoing challenges within the construction market. The reforms could have a significant impact on how contractors interact with public projects moving forward.
Key aspects of this reform package include:
Minister Donohoe emphasises that improving the risk/reward balance of public works contracts will stimulate higher competition for public works tenders, resulting in improved quality bids and better value-for-money. This move is welcomed by the Construction Industry Federation and is seen as a step towards alignment with international norms.
What Seals the Deal??
In the dynamic world of construction, we understand that the details of a job role are crucial. We recently conducted a poll on our LinkedIn page, asking professionals in the construction sector what factors seal the deal for them when selecting a role. The results are quite insightful: while a work-life balance is key for 45% of respondents, a slightly higher 48% of respondents chose competitive salary as the most critical aspect. Only a small 7% opted for a safe and supportive environment.
