Client questions: Where does sustainability and resilience lie at tender?

-

Client and Industry perspectives

To foster deeper discussion and direct engagement, this session will feature interactive roundtable discussions, where attendees will rotate between tables hosted by major clients. Prior to the event, a pre-survey will be sent to attendees, gathering key questions for clients on sustainability and resilience in project delivery. This will provide a unique opportunity to hear directly from decision-makers, ask questions, and gain insight into how sustainability and resilience priorities are evolving in procurement and project planning.

  • Where does sustainability and resilience sit within the tendering and procurement process?
  • How do clients balance sustainability goals with long-term resilience planning?
  • What are their views on 120-year lifecycle planning, and how can projects be designed to endure climate uncertainties and environmental stresses?
  • How can contractors and consultants demonstrate value beyond compliance to align with evolving client expectations?
