| Abstract: | Programmatic procurement is considered a procurement approach in which framework conditions can be created to address major social ambitions. few studies have explored programmatic procurement yet. This study explores how the procurement strategy may affect the collaboration aspect and the potential for value creation within the program. This study contributes to the scientific debate on the applicability and potential of programmatic procurement. In addition, it enables public clients, program managers, and procurement experts to make more thoughtful decisions and thus improve the practice of programmatic procurement. Case studies of four Dutch construction infrastructure programs based on programmatic procurement are conducted. Procurement documents are studied, and public client procurement officials and program managers are interviewed. This study defines the prominent procurement strategy decisions, and identifies how these affect collaboration, performance directly, and performance through collaboration. Contractual flexibility enables to deal with the uncertainties of the long duration and the diversity that the projects imply. This flexibility is exploited by aligning and consulting to suit both the contractor and public clients. As interests are better aligned, exploiting this flexibility becomes more convenient. Furthermore, since parties have a mutual understanding, solutions better suit the interests of both parties. The findings confirm that programmatic procurement can contribute to achieving social ambitions. |
