An Initiative towards Future
Job Order Contracting (JOC) has been a successful construction project delivery method for over 30 years. However, it is not as well understood by procurement teams as more traditional delivery methods such as design-build and design-bid-build. This lack of familiarity can lead to a lack of trust in JOC.
To address this issue and increase familiarity with JOC, NIGP: The Institute for Public Procurement and Gordian collaborated to conduct research on Job Order Contracting. Two Ph.D.-level researchers spearheaded the study, and the results have significant implications for procurement professionals, particularly those in the public sector who face increasing pressure to achieve more with limited resources.
This set of resources delves into the groundbreaking research on Job Order Contracting, which quantifies the advantages of procuring construction services through a Job Order Contract. The resources include:
