Abstract:This study investigates the relations between Infrastructure Asset Management (IAM) and the outsourcing strategies within Construction Organisation Forms (COFs) by Dutch Local Road Authorities (LRAs). It was completed from the point of view of contractor Strukton, who also served as study initiator. Based on this study, Strukton will be able to improve both its strategy and proposition when contending for governmental road maintenance contracts. Many LRAs currently only outsource project executions to contractors and keep the management tasks in-house. Strukton stated that they are capable of carrying out a variety of IAM-activities, which means that many capabilities are untapped. However, since 2022, there have been sporadic requests for outsourcing management tasks and Strukton is therefore curious as to whether this trend is more frequently seen across other LRAs. Additionally, the contractor is interested in identifying which activities the LRAs currently face difficulties, in so they can focus on addressing these challenges during a collaboration.
