Catch up on C-Link's Digital Maturity Event here - GET MY SEAT.

In this episode, Paul is joined by Iain McIlwee, the CEO of the Finishes and Interiors Sector (FIS), an organisation uniting the supply chain to raise standards and drive quality in the Finishes, Fit-out, and Interiors Sector.

Paul and Iain discuss the FIS Manifesto, drafted before the 2024 UK elections, and the often-overlooked topic of Contractor Design Portions.

• Modern procurement methods and their impact on productivity.
• Enhancing public sector procurement for better outcomes.
• Addressing unreasonable risk transfer with standard form contracts.
• Challenges in design development and responsibility allocation.
• The role of a standardised Design Responsibility Matrix (DRM).
• The importance of early contractor engagement and resolving design conflicts.
