A PfP Team has been established, which will bring together members of Costain and the partnership companies to review Costain's PfP workload on a monthly basis.
Projects will then be assigned to the most suitable of the 3 partners, based on a number of factors including location, sector and specialist experience.
With a focus on delivering opportunities and projects in the key target sectors of health, education, commercial and retail, the partnership will allow both SES and Costain to forge closer working relationships to deliver value added projects across its target markets.

Knowledge and best practices will be combined to the benefit of the project, with proactive risk management principals and collaborative management throughout the project lifespan.
Mark Perkins, the SES Director responsible for the PfP partnership, commented on the signing of the partnership charter, "This is a fantastic opportunity for SES and Costain to lead in the drive for best practice and best value in construction.
