Procurement Packaging Strategy Builder

How a programme is split into contracts decides who can bid, who carries which risk and how many interfaces the owner must manage. List the main scope items with their value, type, design status, market depth, interfaces and uncertainty. The builder suggests a contract model (FIDIC or NEC4 option), an approach to market and lot advice for each, flags packages that are too big for the market or too entangled, and gives the next steps for your procurement strategy.

Who it is for

  • Procurement leads and contract strategy teams
  • PMOs and owner's engineers on giga-projects
  • PIU procurement specialists preparing a PPSD
  • Transaction advisers and PPP units

What you get

  • A contract model for each package with the reason
  • An approach to market (open international, national, two-stage, shortlist)
  • Lot advice based on market capacity and interfaces
  • Flags for size, market and interface risk
  • Next steps for the procurement strategy and plan

How this tool works

Built on
Contract strategy practice in FIDIC and NEC4 (who designs, who carries quantity and ground risk, price certainty versus flexibility) and the market analysis steps of the World Bank PPSD.
Scoring
The score is the share of packages without a size, market or interface flag.
Limitations
Rule-based suggestions from the information you enter; a full strategy also needs market sounding, risk workshops and the financier's review.
Your data
What you type stays in your browser unless you save it to a free account. We receive your name, email and summary only when you open your results.

Questions

Why does packaging matter so much?

It decides who can bid, how much competition you get, who carries each risk and how many interfaces the owner must manage. Many overruns on large programmes start with packages that are too big, too small or too entangled.

Does it choose the procurement method for us?

It suggests the usual approach. The methods and thresholds allowed on your project come from the financier's rules and your procurement plan.

Which contract models are covered?

Employer-designed remeasurement (FIDIC Red, NEC4 Option B), design-build (FIDIC Yellow, NEC4 Option A), EPC/turnkey (FIDIC Silver), target cost (NEC4 Option C), supply, information systems, consulting and performance-based O&M.

Based on

Sources checked: November 2026. We check the official sources every month.

A guidance tool, not a formal assessment, audit or legal opinion. Your contracts, the financier's policies and national law always take precedence. The procurement methods, thresholds and standard documents allowed on your project are set by the financier and national rules.
