Understanding the patterns - relationships between clients and members

THE DOMINATING SET-UP - a consortium arrangement showing lines of communication between individual members of a consortium including the supply chain but excluding the client (fig 1).

POOR COMUNICATION - a consortium showing external client and lines of communication between individual members of a consortium and the client, with little communication between members themselves. But this method does present a unified approach to the client in order to win the tender process (fig 2).

THE PPC MODEL - a model showing the client within the contract arrangements and lines of communication between individual members of a consortium. This model is used within the public housing sector (fig 3).
