Partnerships

Partnerships

Partnering is a cooperative collaborative relationship where the objective must be to jointly provide and deliver an enhanced service to the benefit of all customers and stakeholders. Some 80% of all work undertaken by Thomas Vale is now on a Partnering basis.

Our Experience
We have extensive experience of working with a diverse range of Clients (including many local authorities & other public bodies / organisations) under a Partnering Agreement to maximise Best Value. We have found that an open- book collaborative approach ensures that the cooperation between Client, Contractor & Supply Chain runs smoothly, and that the coordination between all parties is carried out effectively.

Our Approach

Thomas Vale’s approach is tried and tested. Over the past decade, we have worked collaboratively within Frameworks and Partnerships across a number of complimentary sectors.

Today, over 80% of our turnover is undertaken through formalised Partnerships with our Clients across diverse sectors of work.

Tangible Project Benefits

This broad experience allows us a unique knowledge of what works, identifying areas of innovation which can realise tangible project benefits.

Our approach is inclusive of Stakeholders, Clients, Customers, Communities, Supply Chain Partners and fellow Contractor Partners from the earliest possible opportunity to ensure that Best Practice Methods and Economies of Scale are delivered for the benefit of all.

Thomas Vale is at the forefront of Partnership Working and has been involved in numerous award winning projects because of our pioneering approach and ability to constantly deliver and meet the Stakeholders’ aspirations.
