1.6 Procurement Strategy
Contract type
Management contracting method is generally utilized for executing the project of
“Darling Harbour Swing Bridge”. This bridge replacement is mainly arranged under the
operational control of an enterprise that is mainly vested by contract. It is found that the
contractors are generally paid to do all the work that is related with the project in order to
finish the project within the expected timeline and budget (Jorgensen, Mohagheghi &
Grimstad, 2017). There are number of advantages that the project get by utilizing this type of
contract within the project. The advantages of management contract generally includes less
time is needed for construction and getting proper devices during the design phase of the

12
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
project. Additionally, it is found that in this type of contract, the entire budget of the project
needs to be properly estimated however the budget that is required within the project cannot
be properly determined until the entire project work is successfully completed.
Delivery method
Design build delivery model is considered as the most suitable delivery model for the
project “Harbour Swing Bridge” replacement. This delivery method is mainly selected for the
project as the entire design build team works under a single contract with the owner of the
project for providing proper design as well as construction services within the project (Yu,
Shen & Shi, 2016). By utilizing this method, the organization generally gets the
opportunities for the project owners to properly contemplate proper decisions by considering
number of options. This method of delivery also assists in saving budget of the project by
approximately 6%. In addition to this, this method helps in enhancing collaboration within
the organization among the various project team members.
