Canal & River Trust Commercial Plan
Client need
Kier Integrated Services have signed a framework agreement contract for Lot 2a of the Civil Engineering Contract (CEC) with the Canal & River Trust (CRT).
To ensure compliance and best practices in commercial and contract delivery of the CEC framework, Kier partnered with CappKind to develop a Canal & River Trust Commercial Plan that aligns with the requirements and obligations of both organisations.
Commercial Plan with continuous improvement in mind
CappKind solution
CappKind collaborated with Kier Integrated Services’ Senior Commercial Manager to determine the critical commercial processes that should be included in the Canal & River Trust Commercial Plan. We conducted a comprehensive review and analysis of the framework documentation to identify the relevant commercial processes that should be part of the plan.
To achieve this, a tabular approach was used to outline the sub-processes and subject areas. This structure included an introduction, purpose, objective procedure, and links to systems, tools, and templates in a standard format.
The key areas of focus for the Commercial Plan included:
- Contract obligations, bonds, warranties, and insurances
- Process, systems, and planning
- Procurement and subcontracting
- Reporting
- Change management
- Application for Payment, cost, and cash
- Disputes
Under each area, sub sections were developed to align both Kier’s and the CEC frameworks contract and commercial elements.
